RE: The tariff classification of a woman’s jacket from Bangladesh
Dear Ms. Diamant:
In your letter dated January 22, 2016, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Your sample will be returned.
Style 397956 is a woman’s jacket constructed from 55% linen and 45% cotton woven fabric. The unlined jacket features long sleeves, a stand-up collar, a full front opening secured by a zipper closure, and a hemmed bottom. The jacket extends from the shoulders to hip area.
Although you requested classification of style 397956 under subheading 6202.99.9061, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), the features and the cut of the garment are of those of jacket-type garments of heading 6211. Consequently, the applicable subheading for style 397956 will be 6211.49.9080, HTSUS, which provides for Track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments: Other garments, women’s or girls’: Of other textile materials: Jackets and jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6202. The rate of duty will be 7.3 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 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 via email at [email protected].
