Correction to Ruling Number N230136 Dear Mr. Schoenig: This replaces Ruling Number N230136, dated August 30, 2012, which contained a mistake of fact in which the gender of the garment was described as men’s, when it is actually a women’s jacket. A complete corrected ruling follows. In your letter dated August 8, 2012, on behalf of your client, G-III Apparel Group, Ltd., you requested a tariff classification ruling. The sample submitted, style number 552, is a women’s hip-length jacket with a shell composed of a woven 95% polyester/5% spandex fabric on the outer surface and a flat knit 100% polyester mesh fabric on the inner surface, bonded together with a plastic in between. The jacket is lined in the front panels and in the hood with a knit polyester fabric, and in the sleeves with a woven polyester fabric. The plastic laminate is visible through the inner mesh fabric. The jacket has an integral hood with a drawcord tightening, a full front opening secured by a zipper closure that extends to the chin area, long hemmed sleeves, a zippered pocket on the upper portion of the left sleeve, two front pockets with zipper closures below the waist and a drawcord tightening through the bottom hem. The sample is being returned to you as you have requested. The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6210.50.5020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for Garments, made up of fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907: Other women’s or girls’garments: Of man-made fibers: Other: Anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles.
