Dear Ms. Rudner: In your letter of March 1, 2000, you requested a tariff classification ruling. Sample of style 3m8311 was submitted for classification. Style 3m8311 is composed of 100% nylon and has a visible 100% polyurethane coating on the inner surface. The garment extends from the shoulders to the area of the waist. It features a full frontal zippered opening, a buttoned pocket on the chest, two slant pockets at the waist, long sleeves with adjustable tabs on the cuffs, and adjustable tabs on the back. Your sample is being returned to you. The applicable subheading for the garment is 6210.20.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, which provides for men’s jackets made up of fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906, or 5907 of man made fibers, other. The rate of duty is 7.3%. The garment falls into textile category 634. As products of Korea, this merchandise is presently subject to visa requirements based on international trade agreements and subject to quota reporting. The designated textile and apparel category may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since part categories are the result of international bilateral agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status Report On Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for inspection at your local Customs office. This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177). A copy of this ruling should be attached to the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the transaction. Sincerely, Christopher Perry Acting Port Director Champlain, N.Y.
