RE: The tariff classification of a girl’s knit jacket from Hong Kong

Dear Ms. Morgan-Lyon:

In your letter dated August 31, 2005, you requested a classification ruling. As requested, your sample is being returned to you.

Your sample, style GL 103229, is a girl’s upper body garment constructed from finely knit 79% cotton, 21% polyester French terry fabric. The garment has a full front heavy-duty zipper opening, a hood, rib knit sleeve cuffs and a wide rib knit waistband. Patch pockets with flaps secured by metal snaps are positioned over the lower portions of the terry fabric and the upper portions of the rib knit waistband. The submitted garment is a girls’ size medium.

The applicable subheading for style GL 103229 will be 6102.20.0020, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for women’s or girls’ windbreakers and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6104, of cotton, girls’. The rate of duty will be 15.9 percent ad valorem.

Style GL 103229 falls within textile category designation 335. Quota and visa status are the result of international agreements that are subject to frequent renegotiations and changes.
