RE: The tariff classification of men's garments from Hong Kong.

The man’s vest features a full front opening secured by seven magnetic closures, no sleeves, two pockets at the waist and one zippered pocket on the chest.

The jacket features a full frontal opening secured by six velcro closures, long sleeves with velcro closures at the cuffs and two pockets at the waist.

In addition, the designated textile and appparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should be verified at the time of shipment. .
