Your sample will be returned as requested. Style RS14-082 is a woman’s upper body garment constructed from 60% rayon and 40% cotton knit fabric. The cape-like garment drapes over the shoulders, covers the elbows, and extends to the waist. The garment is not suitable to be worn for protection against the elements and features a rounded neckline and a fringed bottom. In your letter, you suggested classification of style RS14-082 as a shawl under subheading 6117.10.2030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). However, the garment is precluded from subheading 6117.10.20, HTSUS, because it covers the elbows and reaches the waist. Consequently, the applicable subheading for style RS14-082 will be 6114.30.3070, HTSUS, which provides for Other garments, knitted or crocheted: Of man-made fibers: Other: Other: Women’s or Girls’.
