RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s knitted suit-type jacket from China.

Dear Mr. Hoffacker:

In your letter dated June 6, 2007, on behalf of Revue LLC, 512 7th Ave., New York, NY 10018, you requested a classification ruling. Your sample is being returned as requested.

The submitted sample, style number 749269S , is a woman’s 100% boiled wool flared suit-type jacket with a lined rabbit fur collar that is attached to the boiled wool collar with 7 buttons. The garment is tailored and has three panels, two of which are in the front, sewn together lengthwise. The suit-type jacket features a turn down collar, ¾ length hemmed sleeves, a full front opening with a one button closure, 2 front patch pockets in the waist area, one extended pleat on the back panel, and a hemmed bottom.

The suit-type jacket and the rabbit fur collar are considered as a composite good. The essential character is given by the suit-type jacket; Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), Rule 3, noted.

The applicable subheading for the suit-type jacket will be 6104.31.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for women’s suit-type jacket, knitted: of wool or fine animal hair. The duty rate will be 54.8 cents/kg + 16% 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/.

The suit-type jacket falls within textile category 435. With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries. The textile category number above applies to merchandise produced in non-WTO member-countries.
