HTS codes: 6307.90.9989
Headings: 6307
Product description
Three samples, designated as ref KJ2506, KJ2533 and W004, accompanied your request for a ruling. These items are knit to shape and are designed to simulate a panel of a garment albeit in a scaled down (miniature) form. These items are not garment parts but are produced to illustrate certain design features which the vendor is offering to the buyer for his exclusive use. These “knitdowns” may illustrate a unique knit design, a unique color combination or other identifiable design feature. The knitdowns represent a transfer of the rights to certain features within a designated territory from the supplier. In this case reference KJ2506 features a complex jacquard knit pattern, reference KJ2533 features a unique embroidered floral design characterized by fabric applique and reference W004 features in part an open work knit and a textured floral design which has been printed on using what appears to be a pigmented plastic binder.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the three “knitdowns” will be 6307.90.9989, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up articles.
