RE: The tariff classification of disposable coveralls from China.

Dear Ms.Stockstad:

In your letter dated November 9, 2004, on behalf of ShuBee Customer Care Wear, you requested a tariff classification ruling.

You have submitted three samples. Style A is a disposable coverall composed of SMS polypropylene non-woven fabric. The garment features a full frontal opening with a zipper closure, a tight fitting collar, long sleeves with elasticized cuffs and separate elasticized shoe covers.

Style B is a disposable coverall composed of polypropylene non-woven fabric with a clear polyethylene coating. The garment features a full frontal opening with a zipper closure, a tight fitting collar, long sleeves with elasticized cuffs and separate elasticized shoe covers.

Style C is a disposable coverall composed of a microporous film laminated polypropylene non-woven fabric. The garment features a full frontal opening with a zipper closure, an elasticized hood, long sleeves with elasticized cuffs, elasticized leg openings and separate elasticized shoe covers.

You state workers in contaminated areas will use the garments. The design features of the items, especially the hood, tight fitting collars, elasticized wrist and shoe covers, are characteristics associated with garments designed for use in contaminated areas.

The applicable subheading for Styles A, B and C will be 6210.10.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for garments, made up of heading 5602,5603,5903,5906 or 5907: of fabrics of heading 5602 or 5603: other: nonwoven disposable apparel designed for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories or contaminated areas. The rate of duty will be Free.

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 Kenneth Reidlinger at 646-733-3053.

Sincerely,

Robert B. Swierupski
Director,
