Product description
As requested, the sample will be returned to you. The submitted sample, Style NB55011 is an infant boy’s finely knit cardigan. The outer shell is made of 80% cotton, 20% polyester velour finely knit fabric. The fully lined interior is made of cotton interlock fabric. The item features a full front zipper opening, a lined hood with floppy fabric dog-like ears, long sleeves with folded fabric cuffs and a hemmed bottom. The style is sized for babies “preemie” through 12-18 months. You describe the sample as a boy’s jacket. While the garment has certain characteristics of a jacket we find that the article is a fashion layer piece. It lacks sufficient jacket characteristics and does not afford adequate protection against the elements as a jacket because of the knit fabric.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for Style NB55011 will be 6111.20.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for babies’ garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted, of cotton, sweaters, pullovers, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, except those imported as parts of sets.
