RE: The tariff classification of a worker vest from Indonesia.

Dear Ms. Keller:

In your letter dated September 22, 2005, on behalf of Orion Holdings, you requested a classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned to you.

The Style OSS79 Worker Vest is not worn for decency or adornment; it is an accessory worn as a safety identifier that warns oncoming traffic and others of the presence of the wearer.

The applicable subheading for the Style OSS79 Worker Vest will be 6117.80.9540, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other made up clothing accessories, knitted or crochetedother accessories: other: other, of man-made fibers: other.
