RE: The tariff classification of a men’s knit jacket from China.
Dear Mr. Nolan:
In your letter dated June 6, 2007, you requested a tariff classification ruling on behalf of Holloway Sportswear, Inc. As requested, your sample will be returned.

Style 1097 features a self-fabric stand-up collar; a full front opening with a zippered closure; long sleeves with tunnel elastic cuffs; zippered pouch pockets below the waist; and a tunnel elastic bottom. You state that the garment will also be imported in a 75% polyester, 25% rayon blend in charcoal grey and heather grey colors.
The applicable subheading for Style 1097 will be 6101.30.2010, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTSUS), which provides for: men’s or boys’ overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers, and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: other than those of heading 6103: of man-made fibers: other: men’s.
