RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s Jacket from Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Fox:

In your letter dated June 6, 2007, you requested a classification ruling on behalf of Jones Apparel Group. Your sample will be returned as requested.

Submitted sample, style #1FHC35008, is a woman’s faux fur jacket constructed from 83% acrylic and 17% cotton woven fabric. The garment extends from the shoulder to the waist. The fully lined garment features a stand up collar, short sleeves, a full front opening secured by a hook and eye closure at the waist and a 100% wool rib knit waist band.

The applicable subheading for the style 1FHC35008 will be 6211.43.0078, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: other garments, women’s or girls’: of man-made fibers: jackets and jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6202. The duty rate will be 16 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/.

Style 1FHC35008 falls within textile category 635. With the exception of certain products of China, quota/visa requirements are no longer applicable for merchandise which is the product of World Trade Organization (WTO) member countries.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. Quota and visa requirements are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current information on quota and visa requirements applicable to this merchandise, we suggest you check, close to the time of shipment, the “Textile Status Report for Absolute Quotas” which is available on our web site at www.cbp.gov. For current information regarding possible textile safeguard actions on goods from China and related issues, we refer you to the web site of the Office of Textiles and Apparel of the Department of Commerce at otexa.ita.doc.gov.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
