RE: The tariff classification of a lady's reversible outerwear
jacket, style 87074, from Indonesia.
Dear Ms. Shira:
In your letter dated April 10, 1990, on behalf of Foreign
Resources Corp., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
One side of this garment is manufactured from polyester
fleece, except for the woven trim which is found on the placket,
waistband, and one side of the collar.
The characteristics of this knitted side of the garment
include a full-front, zippered opening which extends into the
collar, and a rib-knitted waistband and cuffs.
The other side of the garment is manufactured from woven
nylon, which is coated on the inner surface with polyurethane.
This coating is not separately visible.
The characteristics of this woven side include a full-front,
zippered opening which extends into the collar, and zippered
pockets. Knitted portions consist of the ribbed waistband and
cuffs, and of the fleece side of the collar.
As you have requested, the sample garment is being returned.
If this jacket passes the water resistant test specified in
Chapter 62, U.S. note 2, then the applicable subheading for the
garment will be 6202.93.4500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), which provides for women's water resistant
anoraks..., windbreakers and similar articles...of man-made
fibers. The rate of duty will be 7.6 percent ad valorem.
If the garment does not pass this test, then the applicable
subheading for it will be 6202.93.5010, HTS, which provides for
women's other anoraks..., windbreakers and similar articles...of
man-made fibers. The rate of duty will be 29.5 percent ad
valorem.
The jacket falls within textile category designation 635.
Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of
Indonesia are subject to quota restraints and 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
