HTS codes: 6110.30.3059
Headings: 6110
GRI rules applied: GRI 3
Product description
The submitted sample will be returned as per your request. The submitted sample (style part# s/5485) is an “aeropostale” label woman’s sleeveless upper body garment constructed with a front panel made of 60% cotton 40% polyester jersey fabric and a rear panel made of 100% nylon openwork warp knit lace-like fabric. The pullover styled garment features a scooped front neckline, printed designs on the front panel, a modified racerback rear panel, and a snug fitting jersey fabric banded garment bottom. The garment extends to below the waist. Because the garment is constructed of jersey and lace-like fabric components we apply GRI 3 (b), which states that garments will be classified by the component which gives them their essential character. The openwork warp knitted lace-like component imparts the essential character to the garment based on the nature of this material that provides a visual and significant decorative effect. Accordingly, classification of this garment is based on its warp knitted lace-like fabric and classification is proper under 6110.30.3059, HTSUS.
