Dear Ms. Fox:

The garment is constructed from 100% boiled wool, knit fabric. The garment features a layered ruffled V-neckline, long sleeves with layered ruffled cuffs, a full front opening with a snap closure, princess seams in the front, and a straight bottom.

The applicable subheading for the suit-type jacket will be 6104.31.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women’s suit-type jackets, knitted: of wool or fine animal hair. The rate of duty will be 54.8 cents/kg + 16% ad valorem.
