RE: The tariff classification of a men’s knit jacket from Macau.

Dear Ms. Girvin:

In your letter dated April 18, 2005, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, your sample will be returned.

Style 033-5618 is a men’s jacket constructed from 72 percent cotton, 28 percent polyester, finely knit fabric that is napped on the inside surface. The jacket features a rib knit stand-up collar; a full front opening with a zippered closure; long sleeves with rib knit cuffs; rib knit side panels; two pouch pockets below the waist; and a rib knit bottom. Style 033-5618 will be imported in men’s regular sizes. You state that the same garment will also be imported in men’s tall sizes as Style 033-5619.

The applicable subheading for Styles 033-5618 and 033-5619 will be 6101.20.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTS), which provides for: men’s or boys’ overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers, and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: other than those of heading 6103: of cotton: men’s. The rate of duty is 15.9 percent ad valorem.

Styles 033-5618 and 033-5619 fall within textile category designation 334. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.
