RE: The tariff classification of a man's and woman's jacket from China

Dear Ms. Dausman:

In your letter dated October 8, 1998 you requested a tariff classification ruling. The garments submitted for a ruling, Style 1221130 and Style 2221130, will be returned as you requested.

The submitted sample, Style 1221130, is a man's fully lined hip length jacket, the outer shell is constructed of 100% woven nylon fabric. The jacket features include a lapel collar, a front left-over-right four button closure, with the lapel button allowing the wearer to button the opening at the neck, four outside front pockets, and adjustable waist and cuff tabs.

The second sample, Style 2221130, is a woman's fully lined hip length jacket, the outer shell is constructed of 100% woven nylon fabric. The jacket features include a lapel collar, a front right-over-left five button closure, with the lapel button allowing the wearer to button the opening at the neck, four outside front pockets, adjustable cuff tabs, and an adjustable drawstring at the waistline.

In a telephone conversation you stated that each garment does not have a coating for water resistance.

The applicable subheading for Style 1221130 will be 6201.93.3511, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other men's anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 28.8%.

Jacket Style 1221130 falls within textile category designation 634. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of China are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

The applicable subheading for Style 2221130 will be 6202.93.5011, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other women's anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles of man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 28.8%.

Jacket style 2221130 falls within textile category designation 635. Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of China are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

The designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information available, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at your local Customs office.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.

Sincerely,

Alice M. Rigdon
Port Director
