Product description
You have requested a ruling on a Fireman Costume set identified as item 50003, which is being returned upon your request. The costume consists of a black jacket and a black hat, with the jacket imparting the essential character.

The word “Firefighter” is painted on the front and back of the jacket. The hat is made of molded plastic and adorned with a sticker with the words “Fire Depart.” Since the jacket, which imparts the essential character, is constructed of a cellular plastic fabric with its textile merely serving as reinforcement, the jacket is considered made of plastic and excluded from classification as a textile article of Chapter 61 or 62. Therefore, the costume will be classified in Chapter 95.
