Tariff classification
HTS codes: 6202.93.2020
Headings: 6202
Product description
The lining fabric on the inner portion of the front panels and the collar, and the shell and lining fabric on the rear panel are quilted to a nonwoven polyester batting. The garment is sleeveless and has oversized armholes, a stand-up collar and a full front opening secured by a double pull zipper closure that extends to the top of the collar. An overlapping flap covers the front zipper area. The garment has two side seam pockets at the waist and a slight elastic tightening on the upper edge of the collar and at the bottom hem. Imported with the padded sleeveless jacket is a barrel-shaped, unlined storage bag composed of the same fabric as the garment. The bag measures approximately 8-1/2 inches in width and 10-inches in length and is flat when empty. The bag has a draw cord tightening at one end. CPB has previously ruled that similar bags imported and sold with a garment made of the same fabric and in the same colors are composite goods, with the essential character imparted by the garment. Such is the case with this padded sleeveless jacket and carry bag combination. Consequently, the bag and padded sleeveless jacket are not regarded as separate items for classification purposes. The sample is being returned to you as you have requested.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the padded sleeveless jacket will be 6202.93.2020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other women’s or girls’ padded sleeveless jackets: of man-made fibers: other.
