RE: The tariff classification of a cotton twill and leather jacket
from Korea.
Dear Mr. Shanley:
In your letter dated January 16, 1990, on behalf of Popular
Services Intl., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
One sample was submitted. The garment is a mens jacket (style
#9881), made of cotton twill and leather with a pile acrylic collar
and lapels. The jacket has a front closing with snap fasteners. The
surface area information is incorrect. The leather portion of the
jacket is 52% by weight of the garment and the leather is more than 10
times the value of the textile.
The applicable subheading for the cotton twill and leather jacket
will be 4203.10.4030, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for articles of apparel and clothing
accessories, of leather or of composition leather: Articles of
apparel: Other, Men's and boys'. The rate of duty will be 6 percent
ad valorem.
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
