RE: The tariff classification of a man's outerwear jacket, style
S-12080, from Malaysia.
Dear Ms. Denny:
In your letter dated April 5, 1990, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.
This garment is pieced together from leather and from
textile. The woven textile fabric is 80% wool/15% polyester/5%
other fibers.
The jacket is basically characterized by a covered, full-
front, zippered opening, rib knitted cuffs and a partially rib-
knitted waistband, pockets, and a collar which fastens together.
The leather portions consist of the sleeves, one surface of
the collar, and a hanger loop on the back of the collar. You
state that the leather comprises 48% of the weight of the
garment.
As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.
The applicable subheading for the garment will be
6201.91.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for men's other anoraks..., windbreakers
and similar articles...of wool...The rate of duty will be 52.9
cents/kg + 21% ad valorem.
The jacket falls within textile category designation 434.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Malaysia are subject to a visa requirement.
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, to obtain the most current information available, 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.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
