Longline Bustier from Japan
A longline bustier extending to hip level for smoothing and support, with underwire cups and boning in brocade fabric. It is a brassiere-like article of heading 62.12, as it provides bust support and shaping. As it is not a specific type with its own subheading, it falls under tariff item 6212.90.00 as an 'Other' article.

Import Tips
• Confirm the bustier is not knitted or crocheted, as that would place it in Chapter 61 (heading 61.24)
• Ensure the brocade fabric is the essential character and not a mere outer layer over another garment
• Declare the fibre composition of the brocade and lining for accurate duty assessment
