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

Dear Ms. Iacobello:

In your letter dated September 5, 2006, you requested a classification ruling.

The sample submitted, style number GN1078, is a man’s hip-length jacket constructed of a shell composed of a woven 100% cotton fabric.

The jacket has a full front opening secured by a heavy-duty zipper closure, a tab with a button closure that fastens across the bottom portion of the front zipper, a fold-down pointed collar, two chest pockets with flaps secured by a one-button closure, long vented sleeves with a one-button closure on the cuffs and a pocket on the upper portion of the right sleeve that is secured by a flap with a two-button closure. The jacket also has two front pockets with a heavy zipper closure at the waist, two round edge side seam vents and a straight hemmed bottom. The garment features numbers and the “Calvin Klein” tradename printed on the rear yoke.

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

The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6201.92.2051, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other men’s anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles: of cotton. The duty rate will be 9.4 percent ad valorem.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
