As requested, the sample will be returned to you. Your submitted sample, Style 550 is a 50% cotton and 50% polyester, knitted, woman’s cardigan.

The garment features a V-neckline, hemmed cuffs, a full frontal opening, shoulder pads, two horizontal pockets and a hemmed bottom. The garment extends from the wearer’s shoulders to the mid-thigh. Due to the fact that the cardigan is to be constructed of a 50/50 blend of fibers, it is classified using HTSUSA Section XI Note 2(A) and Subheading Note 2(A). The cardigan will be classified as if it consisted wholly of that one textile material which is covered by the heading which occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration. Even a slight change in the fiber content may result in a change of classification, as well as visa and quota requirements. The cardigan may be subject to U.S. Customs laboratory analysis at the time of importation, and if the fabric is other than a 50/50 blend it may be reclassified by Customs at that time.
