Bean, Inc. 15 Casco Street Freeport, ME 04033 RE: The tariff classification of a women’s cardigan from Vietnam Dear Ms. Dodge: In your letter dated September 30, 2020, you requested a tariff classification ruling for a women’s lightweight coat. Our response was delayed due to laboratory analysis, during which the sample you submitted was destroyed. You state style 5302189 is a women’s light weight coat constructed from 53 percent polyester and 47 percent cotton 10oz quilted jacquard knit fabric. The outer surface of the garment is constructed from 60 percent cotton and 40 percent polyester jersey knit fabric and measures more than nine stitches per two centimeters in the direction the stitches were formed. The insulation is 100 percent polyester. The garment features a self-fabric hood; a full front opening with a zipper closure; long hemmed sleeves; two side seam pockets (one on either side); and a curved hemmed bottom that reaches to below the waist. The jersey knit fabric imparts the essential character. Due to the construction of the fabric, style 5302189 was forwarded to the Customs and Border Protection laboratory for fiber weight verification. The result of the laboratory analysis indicates the weight of the fabric for style 5302189 is 9.2oz per square yard.
