Product description
Two samples were submitted: Item #1 is a man's jacket constructed of an outershell composed of a woven 100% nylon fabric quilted to a non-woven 100% polyester insulation. The jacket is lined with a woven 100% nylon fabric. The garment's sleeve cuffs are composed of a ribbed-knit fabric. Upon examination of the sample jacket we note that the garment has a coating application on the inner surface of the shell fabric. The coating is not visible as that term is defined in the tariff, therefore HTS 6210 does not apply. The jacket has a full front opening secured by a zipper closure. There is an overlapping flap with four snaps that covers the zipper area. The garment features an imitation fur collar which is secured by an elasticized tab with a "VELCRO"-type fastener. The garment has a left chest pocket and two front pockets below the waist. The waist is elasticized on the back panel. Item #2 is a shinguard used in the outdoor lawn and garden industry to protect legs from minor injuries. We cannot issue a ruling on the shinguard at this time. Please advise whether the vinyl outer material is compact or cellular. The samples are being returned to you as you have requested. If the jacket passes the water resistance test specified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), Chapter 62, U.S. Note 2, then
