Dear Mr. Tshiboyi and Ms. Carothers: In your letter dated August 18, 2011, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, your sample is being returned. Style T2232 is a men’s pullover garment constructed from 100% cotton, jersey knit fabric that measures 24 stitches per two centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. Style T2232 has a rib knit crew neckline; short sleeves with rib knit cuffs; a small embroidery on the left chest; a small appliqué on the left sleeve; and a straight, hemmed bottom. The fabric weight is 206 grams per square meter. The heavy weight fabric is a conspicuous non-T-shirt feature and precludes classification as a T-shirt.
