RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s jacket from Indonesia
Dear Ms. Russo:
In your letter dated April 5, 2012, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your sample will be returned as requested.
Style 126BH is a woman’s unlined jacket constructed from 70% rayon, 19% nylon, and 11% polyester woven fabric. The garment features a collar, long sleeves with elastic cuffs, a full front opening secured by a slide fastener, and a drawstring tightening at the bottom of the garment. Although you requested classification of style 126BH under subheading 6202.93.5011, the features and the cut of the garment are of those of jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6202. Consequently, the applicable subheading for style 126BH will be 6211.43.0078, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: Other garments, women’s or girls’: Of man-made fibers: Jackets and jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6202. The rate of duty will be 16 percent ad valorem.
Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on the World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact National Import Specialist Kimberly Rackett at (646) 733-3051.
