RE: The tariff classification of women’s jackets from China.

Dear Ms. Hayd:

In your letter dated April 7, 2008 you requested a tariff classification ruling. The samples which you submitted are being returned as requested.

The garment is waist length and has an attached hood, two side button pockets, ribbed knit cuffs and bottom and a full front zipper closure. The jacket has a pile 100% polyester lining. SO3828FL is women’s jackets made of cellular polyurethane plastic material with a backing of woven polyester fabric present merely for reinforcing purposes. The garment has zippers at the wrists, a stand-up collar, two side pockets and a full front zipper closure.

Heading 5903 applies to: (a) Textile fabrics, impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plasticsother than: (5) Plates, sheets or strip of cellular plastics, combined with textile fabric, where the textile fabric is present merely for reinforcing purposes (chapter 39)." The textile fabric backing for Styles SO3845FL and SO3828FL is used merely for reinforcing the cellular plastic. Therefore, the jackets are considered made of plastic material of Chapter 39.
