Martingale RdSchaumburg, IL 60173 RE: The tariff classification of an upper body garment from Peru Dear Ms. Larsen: In your letter dated May 11, 2023, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of your client, Land’s End. Style 529041 is a girls’ upper body garment constructed of 92% polyester, 8% spandex jersey knit fabric that measures at least 10 or more stitches per linear centimeter measured in both directions.  The loose-fitting garment features a crew neckline, short raglan sleeves and a slightly longer back panel. You suggest classification under subheading 6109.90.1090 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS); HTSUS, which provides for T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted: Of other textile materials: Of man-made fibers: Women’s or girls’: Other.  However, based on the garment’s appearance, and in accordance with the reasoning set forth in Headquarters Rulings HQ H325360 and HQ H324935, we find that these garments are loose-fitting blouses of heading 6106, HTSUS. The applicable subheading for style 529041 will be 6106.20.2030, HTSUS, which provides for “Women’s or girls’ blouses or shirts, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other: Girls’: Other.”  The rate of duty will be 32 percent ad valorem. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
