Dear Ms. Brown:
In your letter of May 23, 1995, you requested a tariff

for classification.

outer shell of 100% cotton woven fabric which you state has been
treated for water resistance. The other side has a polyester
knit fabric. The garment features a full frontal opening with a
zippered closure, pockets at the waist, and ribbed bottom and
cuffs. Your sample is being returned to you.
If the jacket passes the water resistance test the
applicable subheading for the garment is 6201.92.1500, Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States, which provides for men's
cotton water resistant jackets. The rate of duty is,6.6%. If the
garment does not pass the water resistance test the applicable
subheading is 6201.92.2051 which provides for men's cotton
jackets. The rate of duty is 9.9%. The garment falls into
textile category 334. As products of Hong Kong, this merchandise
is presently subject to visa requirements based on international
trade agreements and subject to quota reporting.
The designated textile and apparel category may be
subdivided into parts. if so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since
part categories are the result of international bilateral
agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, we suggest that you check, close to the time of
shipment, the Status Report On Current Import Quotas (Restraint
Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which
is available for inspection at your local Customs office.
A copy of this ruling should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
William Dietzel
