Tariff classification
HTS codes: 6201.93.3511

Product description
The item in question, style “ARCH,” is a men’s outerwear jacket with a full front opening secured by a zipper that extends to the top of the collar, long, vented sleeves with a buttoned tab at the wrist, zippered pockets at the waist, leather piping on all exposed seams and a full lining. The shell is made from an outer layer fabric of 100% woven nylon and an inner fabric of low-twist 100% boiled wool, joined by needle punching that produces a box-like pattern of wool fibers on the outer surface, which remains predominantly of woven nylon.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for style ARCH will be 6201.93.3511, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other men’s anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, of man-made fibers.
