Dear Ms. Koropatnicki: In your letter dated July 26, 2011, on behalf of your client Nygard Int’l Partnership, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The submitted sample, Style #J4419124, is a pair of women’s trousers constructed from 63% polyester, 33% rayon, and 4% spandex woven fabric. The garment features a flat waistband with seven belt loops, a front zipper with a two button closure that fastens right over left, and long hemmed leg openings. In your ruling request, you recommended classification of the trousers under HTS 6212.90.0030, body supporting garment.
