RE: The tariff classification of men’s and women’s insulated jackets from China
Dear Mr. Whitney:
In your letter dated June 28, 2018, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The samples will be retained for our files.
Style 19555 is a men’s, hip-length jacket constructed from both knit and woven components. The majority of the front panels, shoulders, top one-third of the back panel, and top two-thirds of the sleeves are constructed from 100% nylon, woven fabric. The side panels under the sleeves, the underside of the sleeves, the bottom one-third of the top of the sleeves, and the lower two-thirds of the back panel are constructed from 86% polyester, 9% rayon, 5% elastane, knitted fabric. The garment is partially lined with 100% polyester woven fabric quilted in horizontal rows to a non-woven, polyester batting. Neither the woven fabric nor the knitted fabric appear to comprise more than 60% of the surface area of the garment. The 100% nylon, woven fabric imparts the essential character.
The garment features a full front opening secured by a zipper closure that extends to the top of a stand-up collar; an interior storm flap; zippered pockets below the waist; a zippered chest pocket on the right front panel; reflective trim on the sleeves, side, and back panels; long tapered sleeves with self-fabric cuffs and thumbhole openings; and a curved, hemmed bottom.
