N235593 N2 Ruling Active

The tariff classification of a boy’s jacket from Taiwan.

Issued November 30, 2012 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Tariff classification

HTS codes: 6201.93.3521

Headings: 6201

Product description

The submitted sample will be returned to you as requested. The article, Style 328613L002, is a toddler boy’s hooded woven jacket. The garment shell is made of woven 100% polyester fabric and has a 600 mm PU (polyurethane) coating on the outer surface. The jacket has open work mesh inserts made of polyester small hole knit fabric at the side seams extending from the armhole in-seams to the open hem bottom. The inner lining is made of a different polyester mesh knit fabric. The garment features a full front opening secured by a heavy zipper closure and long sleeves with elasticized cuffs. Although an outerwear jacket with a 600mm polyurethane coating often qualifies as water resistant, the open work mesh inserts on this garment constitutes more than mere trim and precludes water resistant classification.

CBP rationale

The applicable subheading for Style 328613L002 will be 6201.93.3521, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other boys’ anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles of man-made fibers.
