RE: The tariff classification of two men’s jackets from Bangladesh

Dear Ms. Iacobello:

In your letter dated December 13, 2004, you requested a classification ruling.

Two samples were submitted as follows: Style number 5218687-A is a man’s hip-length jacket constructed of a shell composed of a woven 100% cotton corduroy fabric. The jacket is lined with a woven plaid cotton flannel fabric.

The jacket has a fold-down pointed collar, a full front opening secured by a left-over-right, seven button closure and long vented sleeves with elbow patches and adjustable button closures on the cuffs. The jacket also has two chest pockets with flaps secured by a one-button closure, two side seam pockets at the waist, an inverted pleat on the upper portion of the rear panel, a simulated belt on the rear waist and a straight cut hemmed bottom. A small patch sewn onto the lower portion of the left chest pocket depicts an American eagle with arrows logo.

Style number 5218687-B is a man’s hip-length jacket constructed of a shell composed of a woven plaid 100% cotton flannel fabric. The jacket is lined with a woven 100% nylon fabric that is quilted in a diamond pattern to a nonwoven polyester batting fill. The jacket has a fold-down pointed collar, a full front opening secured by a left-over-right, six button closure, long vented sleeves with a one-button closure along the vent opening and an adjustable button closure on the cuffs. The jacket also has two chest pockets with flaps secured by a one-button closure, two side seam pockets at the waist, two side seam vents in combination with a back center seam and a straight cut hemmed bottom.

The samples are being returned to you as you have requested.
