RE: The tariff classification of girls’ snow pants from China

Dear Ms. Kittel:

In your letter dated June 1, 2006, you requested a classification ruling on two styles of girls’ snow pants. These styles were the subject of Ruling NY M83513, dated May 22, 2006. The physical features of those garments have been modified. The revised styles differ from the original styles in that they now have scuff guards.

Two samples, revised style 136236 and revised style 136220, are submitted with your request. Both items have a woven polyester fabric outer shell with polyurethane coating and a polyester fill interior. They are lined with a woven 100% polyester fabric. The garments are sized for girls XS to XL or 4-16. The samples will be returned to you as requested.

Both styles have an elasticized rear waistband, five belt loops, adjustable side seam waistband tabs secured by Velcro type closures, a zippered fly front with metal snap closure, fully sealed seams, side seam pockets secured by zipper closures, rear patch pockets secured by Velcro type closures, hidden elastic leg sleeves and scuff guards.

The applicable subheading for the girl’s trousers, revised style 136236 and revised style 136220, if water resistant, will be 6204.63.3010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s or girls’ trousers and breeches, of synthetic fibers, water resistant, ski/snowboard pants.

The applicable subheading for the girl’s trousers, if not water resistant, will be 6204.63.3530, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for girl’s trousers and breeches, of synthetic fibers, other, other.
