Dear Ms. Dusten:

In your letter dated January 8, 2008, on behalf of SGA USA, Inc. you requested a tariff classification ruling. As requested, the samples will be returned to you.

You have submitted two samples. Style F74CC100X is a girl’s reversible jacket.

The other side is made from a 100% polyester knit fleece fabric. The jacket features a full frontal opening with a zippered closure, a hood, long sleeves with hemmed cuffs secured with a hook and loop closure, two vertical pockets below the waist and a hemmed bottom.

Style F74CC550G is a girl’s water resistant rain coat. The coat is composed of a knit man-made fabric coated with a compact polyurethane plastic that does not completely obscure the underlying fabric. The coat is lined with a polyester woven fabric. The coat features a full frontal opening with a three button closure, which fastens right over left, a collar, long sleeves with hemmed bottoms, two front patch pockets below the waist and a hemmed bottom.
