The jacket has a fold-down pointed collar, a full front opening secured by a zipper closure and an overlapping flap with a five-button hidden placket closure that covers the zipper area. The jacket has epaulets with a one-button closure, long hemmed sleeves with a vent opening at the wrist area secured by a one-button closure, two bellows chest pockets with flaps secured by a one-button closure, two side seam pockets at the waist and a straight cut hemmed bottom.

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: other: other: other. The duty rate will be 9.4 percent ad valorem.
