The jacket features a mock collar, a full front opening with a zipper closure, a woven lining, two front zippered pockets, two side slits, and embroidered designs at the neck, placket, sleeves, and pocket area. The collar, placket, sleeves, and bottom are finished with knit capping.

In addition, 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 and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

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. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mike Crowley at 646-733-3049.
