Headings: 6201
Product description
You submitted a sample, which we are returning as you requested. The item in question, style 3LMLW053 San Jose, is a men’s jacket with a shell made from a 100% cotton 7.26-ounce twill weave fabric and a lining made from a 100% polyester 8-ounce looped pile fabric. The sleeves are lined with a woven polyester fabric with a 2-ounce batting fill. The jacket has a full front opening with a seven-button, left over right closure, long, vented sleeves with buttoned cuffs, patch pockets in the chest with button-through flaps, a pointed collar and a straight cut bottom. In classifying garments with features of both shirts and jackets CBP is guided by the section on shirt-jackets in the Informed Compliance Publication, Apparel Terminology under the HTSUS, available on our website, CBP.gov, under “CBP Legal Decisions and Publications.” In certain cases, however, a particular feature may be determinative of the outcome. Such is the case here, due to the heavy thermal lining which is characteristic of a jacket and not of a shirt.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6201.92.2051, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other men’s anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, of cotton.
