RE: The tariff classification of a man’s jacket from Vietnam

Dear Ms. Boullet:

In your letter dated March 23, 2006, you requested a classification ruling.

The sample submitted, style number WM5361, is a man’s jacket constructed of a shell composed of a woven 78% polyester/22% rayon moleskin fabric that has a visible polyurethane coating on the inner surface. The jacket is lined with a woven man-made fiber fabric that is quilted to a nonwoven polyester batting insulation.

The jacket has a detachable hood with a rear tab secured by a hook and loop fastener, a stand-up collar and a full front opening secured by a zipper closure that extends to the top of the collar. An overlapping flap with six magnetic closures along its length and one-snap closure at the bottom covers the zipper area. The garment has a left chest pocket secured by a flap with snap closures, two double entry front pockets below the waist secured by a flap with snap closures and two inner pockets, one of which has a zipper closure. The jacket also has long sleeves with fold over cuffs that are secured by a snap closure and a straight cut hemmed bottom. The “Columbia” tradename and logo is embroidered onto the bottom of the left front panel.

The sample is being returned to you as you have requested.

The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6210.40.5020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Garments, made up of fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907: Other men’s or boys’ garments: of man-made fibers: Other anoraks, (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles.
