RE: The tariff classification of a men’s jacket from Bangladesh
Dear Ms. Haupt:
In your submission which we received on October 30, 2025, you requested a tariff classification ruling.
Article 8401216545 is a men’s jacket constructed from 95% polyester, and 5% elastane knit fabric that is
brushed on the inner surface. The partially lined garment features a stand-up collar, a full-frontal opening
secured with a zipper closure that extends to the top of the collar, long sleeves with banded cuffs, a patch
pocket on the left chest, zippered pockets below the waist, and a banded hemmed bottom.
The applicable subheading for the article 8401216545 will be 6101.30.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Men’s or boys’ overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks
(including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading
6103: Of man-made fibers: Other: Other: Men’s. The rate of duty will be 28.2 percent ad valorem.
Effective April 5, 2025, Executive Orders implemented “Reciprocal Tariffs.” All imported merchandise
must be reported with either the Chapter 99 provision under which the reciprocal tariff applies or one of the
Chapter 99 provisions covering exceptions to the reciprocal tariffs. At this time, products of Bangladesh will
be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 20 percent. Your product falls within an excepted
subheading. At the time of entry, you must report the Chapter 99 heading applicable to your product
classification, i.e. 9903.02.05 or exclusion subheading, in addition to subheading 6101.30.2010, HTSUS,
listed above.
The tariffs and additional duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. 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 at https://hts.usitc.gov/.
At the time of Entry/Entry Summary, you may be requested to verify the information for any specific
shipment or product.
The holding set forth above applies only to the specific factual situation and merchandise description as
identified in the ruling request. This position is clearly set forth in Title 19, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Section 177.9(b)(1). This section states that a ruling letter is issued on the assumption that all of the
information furnished in the ruling letter, whether directly, by reference, or by implication, is accurate and
complete in every material respect. In the event that the facts are modified in any way, or if the goods do not
conform to these facts at time of importation, you should bring this to the attention of U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) and submit a request for a new ruling in accordance with 19 CFR 177.2.
Additionally, we note that the material facts described in the foregoing ruling may be subject to periodic
verification by CBP.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs and Border Protection
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, please contact
