Classification Reasoning
GRI 1 applies. Chapter 62 covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6206 covers women's or girls' blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses. The product is described as a women's woven blouse made from 100% cotton, supporting classification within subheading 6206.30. Because the product is described as a women's blouse and no facts indicate certified hand-loomed/folklore status, 36% or more flax content, compact-yarn treatment, hospital/clinical use, girls' sizing, or playsuit use, 6206.30.3045 is the primary classification candidate for broker review.

The broker should verify the exact 10-digit suffix against the current HTSUS before filing.
