RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s blouse from Vietnam
Dear Ms. Aranda-Gran:
In your letter dated May 22, 2026, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your submitted sample will be
returned as requested.
Style 271-SW222435 is a women’s blouse constructed from both knit and woven components. The collar, the
back of the sleeves, and the full back panel are constructed from 57% cotton, 38% modal, and 5% spandex
knit fabric. The front of the sleeves and the full front panel are constructed from 85% modal and 15% nylon
woven fabric. The pullover style blouse features a round collar, short sleeves, side slits, and a hemmed
bottom. The woven fabric imparts the essential character of the garment.
The applicable subheading for style 271-SW222435 will be 6206.40.3035, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Women’s or girls’ blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses: Of
man-made fibers: Other: Other: Other: Women’s: Other. The general rate of duty will be 26.9 percent ad
valorem.
The duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided for your convenience
and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided
at https://hts.usitc.gov/.
This ruling does not address the applicability of any additional duties, taxes, fees, exactions and/or other
charges, which may apply to the goods discussed herein. This includes, but is not limited to, tariffs and other
duties as provided for in Subchapter III to Chapter 99, HTSUS. Thus, for example, in addition to the
classification stated above, the merchandise covered by this ruling may also need to be reported with either
the Chapter 99 provision under which an additional tariff applies or one of the Chapter 99 provisions
covering exceptions to such tariffs.
