RE: The tariff classification of two women’s jackets from Vietnam and Guatemala

Dear Mr. Schoenig:

In your letter dated August 12, 2003, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Mast Industries, Inc., Andover, Massachusetts. As requested, your samples are being returned to you.

Your samples, styles 6398 and 6312, are women’s jackets constructed from 80% cotton, 20% polyester velour knit fabric. The outer surface of the fabric of each garment measure more than nine stitches per two centimeters in the horizontal direction. Each jacket features a hood, long sleeves with rib knit cuffs, a full front zippered opening, kangaroo pockets and a rib knit bottom that provides a tightening at the waist.

The applicable subheading for the two jackets will be 6102.20.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women’s or girls overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6104: of cotton: women’s. The duty rate will be 16% ad valorem.

The two jackets fall within textile category designation 335. Based upon international textile trade agreements products from Vietnam and Guatemala are subject to quota and the requirement of a visa.

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.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
