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

Dear Mr. Pellegrini:

In your letter dated April 22, 2005, on behalf of Ashtons Partners, Ltd., you requested a classification ruling.

Two samples were submitted as follows: Style number FGM 45F60 is a man’s upper thigh-length jacket constructed of a shell composed of a woven 100% cotton canvas fabric. The jacket is lined in the body with a heavy knit polyester fleece fabric and in the sleeves with a woven nylon fabric that is quilted in a diamond pattern to a nonwoven batting fill.

Style number FGM 45F61 is a man’s upper thigh-length jacket constructed of a shell composed of a woven blue denim 100% cotton twill fabric. The jacket is lined in the body with a heavy knit polyester fleece fabric and in the sleeves with a woven nylon fabric that is quilted in a diamond pattern to a nonwoven batting fill.

Both jackets have a fold-down pointed collar and a full front opening secured by a left-over-right, seven-button closure. Both jackets also have two chest pockets secured by flaps with a one-button closure, long vented sleeves with a one-button closure on the vent opening, adjustable button closures on the cuffs and a shirt-tail bottom hem.

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

The applicable subheading for style number FGM 45F60 will be 6201.92.2051, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other men’s anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles: of cotton: other: other. The duty rate will be 9.4 percent ad valorem.

The applicable subheading for style number FGM 45F61 will be 6201.92.2031, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other men’s anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles: of cotton: other: blue denim. The duty rate will be 9.4 percent ad valorem.

Both jackets fall within textile category designation 334. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.
