Tariff classification
HTS codes: 6201.92.2031
Headings: 6201
Product description
The item in question, style 55L6, is a men’s shirt-styled jacket, with a shell made from a 100% cotton woven denim fabric and a lining of 100% polyester heavily napped fleece fabric. The garment has a full front opening with a left-over-right, seven metal-button closure, long, vented sleeves with buttoned cuffs, a pointed collar and patch pockets with buttoned flaps in the chest. The lining on this garment is not a type that is commonly associated with shirts. As this item is identifiable as being worn over all other garments as a protection against the elements, it is considered an outerwear jacket for tariff purposes.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for style 55L6 will be 6201.92.2031, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other men’s anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, of cotton, of blue denim.
