N256292 August 18, 2014 CLA-2-62:OT:RR:NC:N3:348 CATEGORY: Classification TARIFF NO.: 6210.50.3000 Dana E. Hullings Nine West Holdings, Inc. 200W Rittenhouse Circle, Door #6 Bristol, PA 19007 RE: The tariff classification of women’s faux leather garment from China. Dear Ms. Hullings: This ruling replaces ruling number N254384, dated July 11, 2014, which contained an error in the fabric description. The fabric for the pullover was described as knit, however, the garment is constructed of woven fabric. A complete corrected ruling follows. In your letter dated, June 12, 2014, you requested a classification ruling. The sample is being to you, as requested. Style M07M233317 is an unlined ladies' pullover. The front panel and short sleeves are composed of cellular polyurethane plastic material with a backing of viscose rayon woven fabric. The textile/cellular plastic material has been perforated. The back panel is composed of woven fabric and features a partial back zipper. Although Style M07M233317 is of cellular construction, the fabric is used in lieu of a lining for comfort and therefore, is used for more than mere reinforcement. As a result, the garment is considered to be made of fabric of heading 5903. The applicable subheading for Style M07M233317 will be 6210.50.3000, 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: Having an outer surface impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with rubber or plastics material which completely obscures the underlying fabric. The rate of duty will be 3.8% ad valorem. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change. The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 181 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 181). A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.
