The submitted sample is a disposable lab made of non-woven textile fabric. The garment covers the torso front and back and has long sleeves with elastic at the wrists. The lab coat has a full back opening, a self-tie at the back of the neck and a self-tie belt.

 The applicable subheading for the disposable lab coat will be 6210.10.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for "Garments, made up of fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 6903, 5906 or 5907: Of fabrics of heading 5602 or 5603: Other: Non-woven disposable apparel designed for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories or contaminated areas." The rate of duty will be Free.
