RE: The tariff classification of a boy’s raincoat from China.

Dear Ms. Malina:

In your letter dated December 18, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, the sample will be returned to you.

The jacket features a collar, a full frontal opening with three metal lobster claw left over right closures, long sleeves with hemmed cuffs, two front flap two snap pockets and a hemmed bottom. Style 274584 is the same item imported in little boy’s sizes. Style 274585 is the same item imported in boy’s sizes.

The applicable subheading for styles 274579, 274584 and 274585 will be 6201.12.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for men’s or boys’ overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, wind-breakers, and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6203: of cotton: other: raincoats, boys’.
