Two samples were submitted as follows: Style number K37138G5A, is a man's suit-type jacket. The jacket has notched lapels and a full front opening secured by three left-over-right button closures. There are two front pockets with flaps below the waist and three buttons on each sleeve cuff. The garment is lined with a woven man-mnade fabric. Style number K37304G5A, is a man slim fitted, straight legged pair of trousers. The trousers have a fly front zipper opening which is secured by a button closure and a metal hook and loop fastener at the waist. Also surrounding the waist are seven self-fabric belt loops. Below the waist there are two front slash pockets and two rear pockets with button closures. An examination and analysis of the jacket and pair of trousers performed by our Customs laboratory has determined that each garment is composed of a base fabric constructed of a woven 96% cotton/4% spandex which has had an adhesive applied to one surface and then a nylon flocking over it forms the outer surface. This fabric in turn is laminated with a polyester warp knit fabric. The classification is based on the base fabric of the woven outer fabric. The samples are being returned to you The applicable subheading for the trousers will be 6210.40.9033, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for garments, made up of fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907: Other men's and boys' garments: Other, other, other: trousers, breeches and shorts.
