RE: The tariff classification of an outerwear jacket for girls’ wear from China

The applicable subheading for this style will be 6102.20.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for …girls’…anoraks…, windbreakers and similar articles, knitted…, other than those of heading 6104, of cotton, girls’. The duty rate will be 15.9 per cent ad valorem.
