Dear Ms. Florentino: In your letter dated April 12, 2013, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Holloway Sportswear. As requested, your sample will be returned. The submitted sample, Style 221042 “Sprinter Singlet,” is a men’s sleeveless pullover garment constructed from 100% polyester, finely knit fabric that measures 34 stitches per 2 centimeters counted in the horizontal direction. Style 221042 features oversized armholes; a U-shaped front neckline; a high rear neckline that does not fall below the nape of the neck; self-fabric capping at the neckline and armholes; contrasting color mesh knit inserts near the shoulders and at each side of the front panel; and a straight, hemmed bottom. Style 221042 will be imported in Adult (men’s) sizes S – 2XL. The same garment will be imported as Style 221242 in Youth (boys’) sizes YM - YXL. The high rear neckline and lack of straps preclude classification as a tank top.
