In a phone conversation you indicated that the jacket is constructed of a shell composed of a woven 80% Melton wool/12% nylon/2% polyester/6% viscose fabric in the body and leather sleeves. You also indicated that the garment does not have a coating application. The garment is lined with a woven 100% polyester satin fabric that is quilted in a diamond pattern to a nonwoven batting fill. The jacket has a full front opening that is secured by seven left-over-right snap closures, two front slash pockets with leather trim on the edges that are located at the waist and an inner pocket. The garment's collar, sleeve cuffs and waistband are composed of a ribbed-knit fabric. The sample is being returned to you as you have requested. The applicable subheading for the jacket will be 6201.91.2011, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for other men's anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles: of wool or fine animal hair. The duty rate will be 51¢/kg + 20.2 percent ad valorem. The jacket falls within textile category designation 434.

Products of Cambodia are not subject to quota restraints but a visa is required. Products of Myanmar (Burma) are neither subject to quota restraints nor the requirement of a visa. The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.

In addition, the designated textile and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected and should also be verified at the time of shipment.
