RE: The tariff classification of a men’s jacket from China
Dear Mr. D’Andrea:
In your letter dated January 31, 2011, on behalf of Irwin Fashion Imports, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The sample submitted, style name “Claremont,” is a men’s hip-length jacket with a shell composed of a woven 92% polyester/6% viscose/2% spandex fabric. The garment is lined with a woven 100% polyester fabric that has a polyurethane coating and is quilted to a nonwoven polyester batting insulation. The coated lining fabric extends under the facing fabric to the edge on each side of the front opening and under the large patch on the inner portion of the rear yoke.
The jacket has a fold-down collar and a full front opening secured by a zipper closure. The garment has an additional inner collar and inner chest warmer insert composed of the same woven polyester coated fabric as the garment’s lining fabric. The chest insert also has a full front opening secured by a zipper closure that extends to the top of the inner collar. The jacket has long hemmed sleeves, a zippered pocket on the left chest, two front pockets with side openings at the waist, three inner pockets and a straight cut hemmed bottom.
The sample is being returned to you as you have requested.
With your letter you submitted a test report from an independent laboratory certifying that the garment passed the water resistance test. We have not confirmed those results in our own laboratory; however, the CBP officer handling the transaction may choose to do so at the time of importation.
Based on the information you provided the applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6201.93.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other men’s or boys’ anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles (including ski-jackets,): of man-made fibers: other: other: water resistant.

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