Tariff classification

HTS codes: 6102.20.0010

Headings: 6102

Product description

As requested, your sample is being returned to you. The submitted sample, style 7001, is a woman’s “Best Super” label cut and sewn jacket that is constructed from 88% cotton and 12% polyester French terry knit fabric. The jacket extends to below the waist and features a hood, a full front zippered opening, long sleeves with close fitting rib knit cuffs, two kangaroo pockets below the waist, and a close fitting rib knit garment bottom. In your submission, you asserted classification as a cardigan of 6110, HTSUS. However, the garment meets the criterion for a jacket of 6102, HTSUS, as it would provide the wearer with sufficient protection from the elements.

CBP rationale

The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6102.20.0010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Women’s or girls’ overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6104: Of cotton: Women’s.
