Based on its construction, the item is more specifically provided for elsewhere in the HTSUS. Classification of merchandise under the HTSUS is governed by the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI\u2019s), applied sequentially. GRI dictates that the classification is first determined by the terms of the tariff headings and any relative section or chapter notes. If these do not resolve the classification, subsequent GRIs are applied. The subject underwear, composed of both paper pulp and nonwoven polypropylene, cannot be classified under GRI 1 because no single heading specifically covers this merchandise made from these two materials. Since the underwear is a composite good constructed from two different materials, it could fall under multiple HTS headings: 4818 (as apparel of paper pulp) or 6210 (as a garment made of nonwoven fabric of heading 5603). GRI 3 addresses the classification of goods classifiable under more than one heading. GRI 3(a) states that the more specific heading is to be preferred. However, when two or more headings each refer to only a part of the materials in composite goods, they are considered equally specific, even if one offers a more complete description. In this case, as both headings refer to only a portion of the underwear\u2019s materials, GRI 3(a) is inapplicable. Therefore, we proceed to GRI 3(b). GRI 3(b) states that composite goods not classified by 3(a) shall be classified by the material or component that gives them their essential character. You indicated that the paper pulp layer wicks moisture and provides comfort, while the polypropylene nonwoven layers provide the base structure and protect the paper. As both materials are equally important to the garment\u2019s function, essential character cannot be determined. The disposable underwear shall be classified in accordance with (GRI) 3(c). When goods cannot be classified by reference to GRI 3(a) or 3(b), they shall be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical order in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).

For the pocket bag fabric of the garment, rayon fibers produced in India are imported into the United States.

Section 102.21, Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 102.21), published September 5, 1995, in the Federal Register, implements Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Section 334 of the URAA was amended by section 405 of the Trade and Development Act of 2000, enacted on May 18, 2000, and accordingly, section 102.21 was amended (68 Fed. Reg. 8711). Thus, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by the sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. The classification of the subject 3 pc tie sets, as per an essential character determination, is based on the tie, however, per the terms of Section 102.21(d), one must determine whether or not a single country of origin exists for the entire set. Section 102.21(d) addresses the treatment of sets for country of origin purposes. Section 102.21(d) provides the following: Where a good classifiable in the HTSUS as a set includes one or more components that are textile or apparel products and a single country of origin for all of the components of the set cannot be determined under paragraph (c) of this section, the country of origin of each component of the set that is a textile or apparel product shall be determined separately under paragraph (c) of this section. A single country of origin cannot be determined for tie, faux pocket square, tie bar and cufflinks.

The subject cufflinks and tie bar are made out of metal and as such, it is outside the scope of the terms of Section 102.21. However, as the cufflinks and tie bar are wholly obtained and produced in a single country, that is, China, there is no issue of its origin.

Pursuant to 19 CFR \u00a7 10.8, the importer must submit a declaration executed by the person who performed the repairs or alterations, and a declaration of his own containing various attestations.

The garments are then reimported into the United States.

Accordingly, upon reimportation, the screen-printed and relabeled T-shirts will be eligible for tariff treatment under 9802.00.5060, HTSUS, provided the documentary requirements of 19 CFR 10.8 are satisfied.

Articles admitted under any provision in this subchapter may be transferred from an institution specified with respect to such articles to another such institution, or may be exported or destroyed under customs supervision, without duty liability being incurred. However, if any such article (other than an article provided for in subheading 9810.00.20 or heading 9810.00.70) is transferred other than as provided by the preceding sentence, or is used for commercial purposes, within 5 years after being entered, the institution for which such article was entered shall promptly notify customs officers at the port of entry and shall be liable for the payment of duty on such article in an amount determined on the basis of its condition as imported and the rate applicable to it (determined without regard to this subchapter) when entered.

Customs and Border Protection has previously viewed cap and gowns, even for one time use, as wearing apparel (HQ W967834). As a result, these items would not be considered regalia.

Thus, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by the sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. Paragraph (c)(1) states: \"The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\" As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) is inapplicable.

In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRIs 2 through 6 may then be applied in order. Pursuant to GRI 6, classification at the subheading level uses the same rules, mutatis mutandis, as classification at the heading level.

CBP has previously determined that a garment can be classified as a protective garment of subheading 6210.10.50, HTSUS, on the basis of the garment\u2019s physical design and properties. Certain design features are a strong indication that a garment has been designed for use in hospitals, laboratories, or contaminated areas. Such features include close or adjustable fits at the neck and wrists, full torso coverage and closure, resistance to fluids and other contaminants, and resistance to tears and abrasions.

While the HTSUS and subchapter notes do not provide a proper definition of \u201csubstantial\u201d limitation, the inclusion of the word \u201csubstantially\u201d denotes that the limitation must be \u201cconsiderable in amount\u201d or \u201cto a large degree.\u201d In the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circui", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/H303987", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

Tariff classification is governed by the principles set forth in the General Rules of Interpretation (\u201cGRIs\u201d) and, in the absence of special language or context which requires otherwise, by the Additional U.S. Rules of Interpretation. The GRIs and the Additional U.S. Rules of Interpretation are part of the HTSUS and are to be considered statutory provision of law for all purposes. GRI 1 requires that classification be determined first according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative section or chapter notes and, unless otherwise required, according to the remaining GRIs taken in their appropriate order. The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (\u201cENs\u201d) constitute the official interpretation of the Harmonized System at the international level. While not legally binding, the ENs provide a commentary on the scope of each heading of the HTSUS and are thus useful in ascertaining the proper classification of merchandise. It is CBP\u2019s practice to follow, whenever possible the terms of the ENs when interpreting the HTSUS. See T.D. 89-90, 54 Fed. Reg. 35127, 35128 (August 23, 1989).

The Explanatory Note to heading 61.14 states: \"The heading includes, inter alia: Aprons, boiler suits (coveralls), smocks and other protective clothing of a kind worn by mechanics, factory workers, surgeons, etc.\u201d These types of garments must be specially designed to protect the wearer from environmental hazards and must also be the type of garment that would not ordinarily be worn at any other time. The garments at issue here contain nothing to distinguish them from pullovers of heading 6110, HTSUS. They are not made in a special fashion, nor do they possess any special features that would make them uniquely suited for protection. Therefore, the garments are not considered protective clothing classifiable in heading 6114, HTSUS.

Tariff Classification Merchandise imported into the United States is classified under the HTSUS. Tariff classification is governed by the principles set forth in the General Rules of Interpretation (\u201cGRIs\u201d) and, in the absence of special language or context which requires otherwise, by the Additional U.S. Rules of Interpretation. The GRIs and the Additional U.S. Rules of Interpretation are part of the HTSUS and are to be considered statutory provisions of law for all purposes. GRI 1 requires that classification be determined first according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative section or chapter notes. In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the heading and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRIs 2 through 6 may then be applied in order. The HTSUS headings at issue are as follows: 6109 T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted: * * * 6212 Brassiers, girdles, corsets, braces, suspenders, garters and similar articles and parts thereof, whether or not knitted or crocheted: The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (\u201cENs\u201d) constitute the official interpretation of the Harmonized System at the international level. While not legally binding, the ENs provide a commentary on the scope of each heading of the HTSUS and are thus useful in ascertaining the proper classification of the merchandise. See T.D. 89-90, 54 Fed. Reg. 35127, 35128 (August 23, 1989). EN 62.12 provides as follows: This heading covers articles of a kind designed for wear as body-supporting garments or as supports for certain other articles of apparel, and parts thereof. These articles may be made of any textile material including knitted or crocheted fabrics (whether or not elastic). In NY N279310, CBP concluded that while the garment resembles a bra in appearance, it does not meet the basic prerequisite for classification as a brassiere as provided in EN 62.12. CBP stated that given the age range to which the garment is marketed, the essential characteristic and purpose is not to support a part of the body or another garment, as required by an article classified in heading 6212, HTSUS, but primarily intended to provide coverage for modesty purposes. CBP has previously addressed the classification of upper body garments available in girls\u2019 sizes in NY L80873, dated November 23, 2004; NY J83918, dated May 7, 2003; and NY B87810, dated July ", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/H282945", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

Further Review of Protest No. 0712-14-150009 was properly accorded to protestant pursuant to 19 C.F.R. \u00a7174.24 because the decision against which the protest was filed is alleged to be inconsistent with a ruling of the Commissioner of Customs or his designee. Specifically, protestant alleges the action of the Port is inconsistent with New York Ruling Letter (\u201cNY\u201d) N015528, dated August 22, 2007, in which CBP found that an all-in-one foundation garment was properly classified under subheading 6212.90.00, HTSUS. Classification under the HTSUS is made in accordance with the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs). GRI 1 provides that the classification of goods shall be determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative section or chapter notes. In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRIs 2 through 6 may then be applied in order. The 2013 HTSUS provisions under consideration are as follows: 6212 Brassieres, girdles, corsets, braces, suspenders, garters and similar articles and parts thereof, whether or not knitted or crocheted: * * * 6212.20.00 Girdles and panty-girdles\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.. * * * 6212.90.00 Other\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (ENs) constitute the official interpretation of the Harmonized System at the international level.

See T.D. 89-80, 54 Fed. Reg. 35127 (August 23, 1989). The ENs to heading 62.12, provide in pertinent part, that: The heading includes, inter alia: * * * (2) Girdles and panty-girdles. * * * (7) Maternity, post pregnancy or similar supporting or corrective belts, not being orthopaedic appliances of heading 90.21.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN \u2013 LAW AND ANALYSIS: Section 334 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (codified at 19 U.S.C. 3592), enacted on December 8, 1994, provided rules of origin for textiles and apparel entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on and after July 1, 1996. Section 102.21, Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 102.21), published September 5, 1995, in the Federal Register, implements Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Section 334 of the URAA was amended by Section 405 of the Trade and Development Act of 2000, enacted on May 18, 2000, and accordingly, section 102.21 was amended (68 Fed. Reg. 8711). Thus, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by the sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. Paragraph (c)(1) states: \"The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\" As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) of Section 102.21 is inapplicable. Paragraph (c)(2) states: \"Where the country of origin of a textile or apparel product cannot be determined under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the country of origin of the good is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which each of the foreign materials incorporated in that good underwent an applicable change in tariff classification, and/or met any other requirement specified for the good in paragraph (e) of this section.\" Paragraph (e) states, in pertinent part: The following rules will apply for purposes of determining the country of origin of a textile or apparel product under paragraph (c)(2) of this section: HTSUS Tariff shift and/or other requirements 6101-6117 (1) If the good is not knit to shape and consists of two or more component parts\u2026 a change to an assembled good of heading 6101 through 6117 from unassembled components, provided that the change is the result of the good being wholly assembled in a single country, territory, or insular possession.

We recognize that although this garment resembles a bra in appearance, the basic prerequisite for classification as a brassiere has not been met. The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (ENs), constitute the official interpretation of the Harmonized System at the international level. While neither legally binding nor dispositive, the ENs provide a commentary on the scope of each heading of the HTSUS and are generally indicative of the proper interpretation of the headings. It is CBP\u2019s practice to consult, whenever possible, the terms of the ENs when interpreting the HTSUS. The Explanatory Notes to heading 6212, HTSUS, state brassieres must be \u201cdesigned for wear as body-supporting garments.\u201d The article at issue is marketed to 6-12 year old girls. It is our opinion, given the age range to which the item is marketed, the essential characteristic and purpose is not to support a part of the body or another garment, as is required by an article classified in heading 6212, but is primarily intended to provide coverage for modesty purposes. Therefore, classification under heading 6212, HTSUS, is precluded. Heading 6109 provides for knitted T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments. The Explanatory Notes to heading 6109, HTSUS, include \"singlets and other vests\" among the types of garments classifiable within this section of the nomenclature. We note that the word \"vest\" is synonymous with \"underwear\" and is a term more commonly used in the British vernacular. The garment at issue is similar to an undershirt in that it is designed to be worn under outerwear, on the upper portion of the body.

Subsequent to filing the protest, the protestant argued that the garment is properly classified as a cardigan-type garment of heading 6110, HTSUS.

Classification of goods under the HTSUS is governed by the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs). GRI 1 provides that \"classification shall be determined according to the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes and, provided such headings or notes do not otherwise require, according to [the remaining GRIs taken in order].\" Classification In this case, the garment was originally entered under subheading 6101.30, HTSUS, as a men\u2019s man-made fiber knit jacket. After the garment\u2019s eligibility under the NAFTA came into question, the protestant submitted the garment should be classified under subheading 6110.30, HTSUS, as a cardigan-type garment. Classification in subheading 6110.30, HTSUS, removes the requirement of meeting the visible lining rule under the NAFTA which is required of garments classified in subheading 6101.30, HTSUS. Counsel for the protestant cited jacket features from the CBP Informed Compliance Publication (ICP), \u201cClassification: Apparel Terminology under the HTSUS.\u201d These features are: Fabric weight equal to or exceeding 10 ounces per square yard A full or partial lining Pockets at or below the waist Back vents or pleats.

Large jacket/coat style buttons, toggles or snaps, a heavy-duty zipper or other heavy-duty closure, or buttons fastened with reinforcing thread for heavy-duty use Lapels Long sleeves without cuffs Elasticized or rib-knit cuffs Drawstring, elastic or rib-knit waistband. Counsel admits that the garment at issue possesses three or more jacket features, i.e., pockets at the waist, elasticized or rib-knit cuffs, and elastic or rib-knit waistband. The garment, in our view, also features a partial lining. Counsel argues that the lightweight knit fabric (7.1 ounces), the use of the garment as a \u201clayering\u201d garment, and the inability to wear the garment over all other clothing for protection against the weather, makes classification of the garment as a jacket unreasonable. Counsel argues the garment is worn and used like a sweater. It is worn over a shirt, t-shirt or pullover.

Beneficiary countries are designated by the President of the United States after having met eligibility requirements set forth in the CBPTA.

Style #FL11400B is a woven, unlined pair of pants. It measures approximately 27.5 inches in length and is designed to fall to the middle of a user\u2019s calf. Furthermore, these pants are pull-on and contain a drawstring around the elastic waistband. The waistband itself measures approximately 1.8 inches in length and is covered by ribbed cotton fabric. These pants also contain two slash pockets in the front, two rear patch pockets, and hemmed leg openings. Style #FL11400B is imported in a range of colors, including black, deep lichen green, starlight blue, brown and sidewalk gray.

Merchandise imported into the United States is classified under the HTSUS. Tariff classification is governed by the principles set forth in the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs) and, in the absence of special language or context which requires otherwise, by the Additional U.S. Rules of Interpretation.

GRI 1 provides that the classification of goods shall be determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative section or chapter notes. In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, GRIs 2 through 6 may then be applied in order. GRI 6 requires that the classification of goods in the subheadings of headings shall be determined according to the terms of those subheadings, any related subheading notes and, mutatis mutandis, to GRIs 1 through 5.

Classification of goods under the HTSUS is governed by the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI). GRI 1 provides that classification shall be determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative section or chapter notes. Men\u2019s shorts are more specifically provided for within the HTSUS under heading 6203. Due to the composition, it is necessary to analyze each yarn in the garment to determine whether any yarn qualifies as a metalized yarn under heading 5605, HTSUS, and then to determine the chief weight of the fabric. The weight of all fibers present in a yarn that qualifies under heading 5605, HTSUS, is governed by Section XI, Note 2 (B) (a) at the six and eight digit level. At the statistical level, in order to determine whether the garment is \u201csubject to restraints,\u201d each type of fiber is considered separately. Section XI, Statistical Note 2, HTSUS, is noted. Laboratory analysis has determined that the sample is composed of one 1-ply cotton/polyester warp yarn and one 1-ply cotton/polyester filling yarn. The garment has the following overall composition by weight: 61.5% cotton, 38.5% polyester. The lab analysis also indicates the presence of the trace aluminum and other metals. The presence of the trace metals can be naturally inherent in cotton or can be added for additional functionality in fabrics such as for water repellency, antibacterial, delustrant, flame retardant, fungicide, or they can be present in synthetic dyes. Based on the lab analysis and the fact that the garment has no metallic character or appearance, and in accordance with the reasoning set forth in HQ H202560, dated September 13, 2013, we find that the one 1-ply warp yarn and the one 1-ply filling yarn are not metalized yarns of heading 5605, HTSUS.

See T.D. 89-80, 54 Fed. Reg. 35127-28 (Aug. 23, 1989). The CBTPA provides certain specified trade benefits for countries of the Caribbean region. The Act extends NAFTA duty treatment standards to non-textile articles that previously were ineligible for preferential treatment under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) and provides duty-free and quota-free treatment for certain textile and apparel articles which meet the requirements set forth in Section 211 of the CBTPA (amended 213(b) of the CBERA, codified at 19 U.S.C. 2703(b)). Beneficiary countries are designated by the President of the United States after having met eligibility requirements set forth in the CBPTA. Eligibility for benefits under the CBTPA is contingent on designation as a beneficiary country by the President of the United States and a determination by the United States Trade Representative (USTR), published in the Federal Register, that a beneficiary country has taken the measures required by the Act to implement and follow, or is making substantial progress toward implementing and following, certain customs procedures, drawn from Chapter 5 of the NAFTA, that allow the United States to verify the origin of products. Once both these designations have occurred, a beneficiary country is entitled to preferential treatment provided for by the CBTPA. Guatemala was designated a beneficiary country by Presidential Proclamation 7351 on October 2, 2000, published in the Federal Register (65 Fed. Reg. 59329).

Further Review of Protest No. 4601-09-101313 was properly accorded to Protestant pursuant to 19 C.F.R. \u00a7 174.24(b) because the decision against which the protest was filed involves specific factual and legal questions that have not been the subject of a Headquarters ruling or court decision. Classification under the HTSUS is made in accordance with the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs). GRI 1 provides that the classification of goods shall be determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative section or chapter notes. In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRIs 2 through 6 may then be applied in order. The HTSUS provisions under consideration are: 6204: Women's or girls' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear): Trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts: 6204.62: Of cotton: Other: Other: 6204.62.40: Other . . . . . * * * * * 6204.69: Of other textile materials: 6204.69.90: Other . . . . . * * * * * Protestant references two federal court cases, United States v.

However, we note that neither case prevents CBP from treating goods from different shipments the same; instead, these cases merely stand for the proposition that an importer should be allowed to introduce evidence to show why later goods should be classified differently than prior goods. The protestant, however, has not introduced any such evidence. Though the Port notified the protestant of its proposal to rate-advance the entry at issue before it issued a notice of action, the protestant did not submit a sample from the disputed entry, a laboratory report, or any such positive evidence of the composition of the garments at issue.

The garments feature hemmed leg bottoms and tunnel waistbands through which a narrow woven fabric is threaded. The narrow woven fabric is approximately 5/8 of an inch wide and is sewn to the pants at the back. It serves to tighten the pants by pulling the narrow fabric and tying it. The narrow woven fabric is a 100 percent polyester woven twill tape that is manufactured in Canada of U.S. origin yarns. The twill tape is shipped to Jamaica, where the pants are manufactured, in boxes containing 500 yards to a box. In Jamaica, the twill tape is spooled out, cut to length and tipped (by the application of heat to the cutting rod), inserted into the waistband of the pants during the pant manufacturing operation and secured thereto.

The Act extends North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) duty treatment standards to non-textile articles that previously were ineligible for preferential treatment under the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) and provides for duty- and quota-free treatment for certain textile and apparel articles which meet the requirements set forth in Section 211 of the CBTPA (amended 213(b) of the CBERA, codified at 19 U.S.C. 2703(b)). Beneficiary countries are designated by the President of the United States after having met eligibility requirements set forth in the CBPTA. Eligibility for benefits under the CBTPA is contingent on designation as a beneficiary country by the President of the United States and a determination by the United States Trade Representative (USTR), published in the Federal Register, that a beneficiary country has taken the measures required by the Act to implement and follow, or is making substantial progress toward implementing and following, certain customs procedures, drawn from Chapter 5 of the NAFTA, that allow the United States to verify the origin of products. Once both these designations have occurred, a beneficiary country is entitled to preferential treatment provided for by the CBTPA. Jamaica was designated a beneficiary country by Presidential Proclamation 7351 of October 2, 2000, published in the Federal Register on October 4, 2000 (65 Federal Register 59329). It was determined to have met the second criteria concerning customs procedures by the USTR and thus eligible for benefits under the CBTPA effective October 2, 2000, 65 Federal Register 60236 (October 10, 2000). The provisions implementing the textile provisions of the CBTPA in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA) are contained, for the most part, in subchapter XX, Chapter 98, HTSUS (two provisions may be found in subheading 9802.00.80, HTSUS).

Classification under the HTSUS is made in accordance with the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs). GRI 1 provides that the classification of goods shall be determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative section or chapter notes. In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRIs 2 through 6 may then be applied in order. GRI 6, HTSUS, requires that the GRI's be applied at the subheading level on the understanding that only subheadings at the same level are comparable. The GRI's apply in the same manner when comparing subheadings within a heading. The HTSUS provisions under consideration are as follows: 6210: Garments, made up of fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907: 6210.10: Of fabrics of heading 5602 or 5603: Other: 6210.10.50: Nonwoven disposable apparel designed for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories or contaminated areas.

The issue arises at the eight-digit level. Therefore, we begin the analysis using GRI 6. The issue is whether, at GRI 6, the garment is designed for use in hospitals, clinics or contaminated areas. CBP has previously determined whether a garment will qualify for classification as a protective garment of subheading 6210.10.50, HTSUS, on the basis of the garment's physical design and properties. Certain design features are a strong indication that a garment has been designed for use in hospitals, laboratories, or contaminated areas. Such features include close or adjustable fits at the neck and wrists, full torso coverage and closure, resistance to fluids and other contaminants, and resistance to tears and abrasions. In addition to the specialized design features, CBP also looks to whether the marketing, advertising, and sale of the garment are directed toward the particular uses for which the garment is claimed to be designed.

GRI 1 provides that the classification of goods shall be determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative section or chapter notes. In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRIs 2 through 6 may then be applied in order. The HTSUS headings under consideration in this case are as follows: 6103 Men\u2019s or boys\u2019 suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear), knitted or crocheted: * * * 6110 Sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: * * * 6203 Men\u2019s or boys\u2019 suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear): * * * If the garments are determined to be sleepwear, then they are properly classifiable in heading 6107 or 6207, HTSUS, as men\u2019s cotton sleepwear, other than pajamas or nightshirts. These headings provide for, inter alia, men\u2019s nightshirts, pajamas and similar articles. CBP has consistently ruled that pajamas generally are two-piece garments worn to bed for sleeping. One-piece garments are not classifiable as pajamas, but sleep shorts and sleep pants used for sleeping fall into a residual provision within the same heading. In Mast Industries, Inc. v.

GRI 1 provides that the classification of goods shall be determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative Section or Chapter Notes. In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRI may then be applied. The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (\u201cENs\u201d) constitute the official interpretation of the Harmonized System at the international level. While neither legally binding nor dispositive, the ENs provide a commentary on the scope of each heading of the HTSUSA and are generally indicative of the proper interpretation of these headings. See T.D. 89-80, 54 Fed. Reg. 35127, 35128 (August 23, 1989). The garment at issue is considered a hybrid garment because it contains features generally associated with both a shirt and a jacket. The EN to heading 6206, HTSUSA, indicates that \"this heading does not cover garments with pockets below the waist or with a ribbed waistband or other means of tightening at the bottom of the garment.\" The subject garment has chest pockets above the waist and no means of tightening at the bottom of the garment. As such, the Explanatory Note would not exclude the garment from classification in heading 6206, HTSUSA. Thus, we disagree with the assertion that the garment may be alternatively classified in heading 6211, HTSUSA, as a garment excluded from classification in heading 6206, HTSUSA. Since this garment has features of both a shirt and a jacket and neither the legal notes to the HTSUSA nor the EN address the issue of whether a garment is classifiable as a jacket as opposed to a shirt, we look to the \u201cGuidelines for the Reporting of Imported Products in Various Textile and Apparel Categories\u201d, CIE 13/88, (Guidelines) for assistance in differentiating jackets from shirts.

On September 5, 1995, Customs published Section 102.21, Customs Regulations, in the Federal Register, implementing Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Thus, effective July 1, 1996, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. Paragraph (c)(1) states that \"The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\" As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) of Section 102.21 is inapplicable. Paragraph (c)(2) states that \"Where the country of origin of a textile or apparel product cannot be determined under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the country of origin of the good is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which each of the foreign materials incorporated in that good underwent an applicable change in tariff classification, and/or met any other requirement, specified for the good in paragraph (e) of this section:\" Paragraph (e) in pertin", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/N016638", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

Tuttle, A P.C., on behalf of DYM Associates (hereinafter referred to as \u201cthe protestant\u201d), concerning the classification of certain ladies cotton woven pants under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (\u201cHTSUS\u201d). FACTS: The merchandise under protest is ladies\u2019 cotton woven pants entered into the United States by the protestant between November and December 2004, under subheading 6204.69.9044, HTSUS, as trousers of other textile materials.\u0002 The entry documents for the various entries described the merchandise as ladies\u2019 65% ramie and 35% cotton woven pants. Upon CBP\u2019s request, the protestant forwarded a sample to CBP from Entry No. 315-7836030-2, which CBP received on January 5, 2005, after release of the merchandise.\u0002 The CBP laboratory tested the sample, a women\u2019s size 5, blue woven pants, and found that it was made of 54% ramie and 46% c", "hts_classification": "6204.62", "requester_proposed_hts": "", "reasoning_summary": "We disagree with counsel\u2019s claim that the protestant\u2019s classification of the subject merchandise is correct because the protestant ordered the merchandise to be made of 65% ramie and 35% cotton and the supplier accepted the order and invoiced the goods as made of 65% ramie and 35% cotton. The fact that the protestant classified the merchandise according to the entry documentation does not obviate CBP\u2019s finding that the merchandise was made of 100% cotton, and that it was therefore not properly classified by the protestant. We note that pursuant to section (\u201c\u00a7\u201d) 1499 of Title 19, United States Code (\u201cU.S.C.\u201d), CBP has the authority to detain and examine the merchandise to confirm its classification. CBP examined a sample it obtained from a subsequent shipment of the same merchandise and found it to be discrepant with the description on the entry documentation previously submitted by the protestant. The second test conducted by CBP\u2019s laboratory that found the merchandise to be made of 100% cotton diminished the credibility of the entry documentation submitted by the protestant and made it unreliable for classification purposes. As such, it was reasonable for CBP to conclude that all of the same merchandise entered by the protestant was made of 100% cotton and to reclassify it under subheading 6204.62.4020, HTSUS. Regarding counsel\u2019s second argument that the first CBP laboratory test on a sample of merchandise covered by Entry No. 315-7836030-2, entered November 5, 2004, confirmed the protestant\u2019s classification and that CBP lacked evidence that the subject merchandise was made of 100% cotton, we note that the second January 31, 2005 test conducted on a sample directly obtained by CBP from a detained shipment contradicts counsel\u2019s assertion that there is no evidence showing that the subject merchandise was made of 100% cotton.\u0002 As stated above the second test conducted on a sample from Entry No. Entry No. 315-7838117-5 carries more weight than the test of January 13, 2005, conducted on a sample submitted by the protestant after release of the merchandise. The second test showed that the merchandise was made of 100% cotton and thus CBP correctly reclassified the merchandise under subheading 6204.62.4020, HTSUS, as trousers, made of cotton. We note that Entry No. 315-7836463-5, which counsel advances as evidence supporting the protestant\u2019s classification, was included in the September 27, 2005, Notice of Action that reclassified the protestant\u2019s merchandise und", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/W968376", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

(hereinafter \u201cJostens\u201d), of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) New York Ruling letter (NY) F84383, dated April 4, 2000, which classified a graduation cap and gown under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA).

In addition, we held a meeting with you and a representative of the Jostens\u2019 company on September 12, 2006, to discuss the classification of the subject merchandise and have reviewed your supplemental submission dated September 22, 2006. Pursuant to section 625(c)(1), Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1625(c)(1)), as amended by Title VI, a notice was published in the May 9, 2007, Customs Bulletin, Volume 41, Number 20, proposing modification of NY F84383, only as it related to the erroneous finding that the goods could not be marked \u201cAssembled in Mexico\u201d and to revoke any treatment a", "hts_classification": "6211.43", "requester_proposed_hts": "", "reasoning_summary": "Accordingly, we start by examining the case of Rubie\u2019s Costume Company v. United States, 337 F.3d 1350 (Fed Cir. 2003), hereinafter Rubie\u2019s. The Rubie\u2019s case is directly on point in that it presented the question of whether CBP\u2019s decision in HQ 961447, dated July 22, 1998, merited deference when CBP set forth specific characteristics which determined that textile costumes of a flimsy nature and construction, lacking in durability, and generally recognized as not being normal articles of apparel were classifiable as duty free \u201cfestive articles\u201d under subheading 9505.90.6000, HTSUSA. In fact, the court found that HQ 961447 was entitled to deference and upheld the reasoning set forth in that ruling, which classified textile costumes of a flimsy nature and construction, lacking in durability, and generally recognized as not being normal articles of apparel, as \u201cfestive articles\u201d in heading 9505, HTSUSA. Of particular relevance to the merchandise now in question is the fact that the court specifically noted that HQ 961447 had correctly compared functional and structural deficiencies of \u201cfestive article\u201d costumes with the standard features found in \u201cwearing apparel\u201d in order to determine whether articles are properly classified in Chapter 95 or Chapters 61/62, HTSUSA. The ruling that was upheld in the Rubie\u2019s case, HQ 961447, affirmed CBP\u2019s decision in HQ 959545, dated June 2, 1997, which responded to a domestic interested party petition filed pursuant to Section 516 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1516) and Title 19 Code of Federal Regulations Section 175.1 (19 C.F.R. 175.1). In HQ 959545, CBP classified one textile costume, identified as the \u201cCute and Cuddly Clown\u201d (No. 11594), as a normal article of wearing apparel classifiable in heading 6209, HTSUSA, because it was well-constructed and had a substantial amount of \u201cfinishing work\u201d, i.e., sewing used to construct, tailor, or finish the article. The \u201cCute and Cuddly Clown\u201d garment, which featured a durable neckline with two seams and no raw edges on the article, was classified in the provision for \u201cBabies\u2019 garments and clothing accessories . . . \u201d under subheading 6209.30.3040, HTSUSA. Similarly, the subject \u201cOne Way\u201d Graduation Gowns have a substantial amount of finishing work with all interior seams having durable overlock stitching and a second reinforcing seam, a two-ply yolk finished with two seams, and turned hems on the neck, cuffs, and hem.

Under the circumstances, this classification under the 2007 tariff is advisory only. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN - LAW AND ANALYSIS: Section 334 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (codified at 19 U.S.C. 3592), enacted on December 8, 1994, provided rules of origin for textiles and apparel entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on and after July 1, 1996. Section 102.21, Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 102.21), published September 5, 1995, in the Federal Register, implements Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Section 334 of the URAA was amended by section 405 of the Trade and Development Act of 2000, enacted on May 18, 2000, and accordingly, section 102.21 was amended (68 Fed. Reg. 8711).

In Hampco Apparel, Inc. v. United States, 12 CIT 92 (1988), the Court of International Trade stated that three factors must be present if a garment is to be considered swimwear for tariff purposes: (1) the garment has an elasticized waistband through which a drawstring is threaded, (2) the garment has an inner lining of lightweight material, namely nylon tricot, and (3) the garment is designed and constructed for swimming. The court also considered whether a garment is designed, manufactured, marketed and intended to be used as swimwear. It is noted that although the Hampco decision involved classification of swimwear under the Tariff Schedules of the United States, it is relevant to decisions under the HTSUSA as the tariff language at issue is the same and the current tariff does not offer any new or different guidance regarding the distinction between swimwear and shorts. In the informed compliance publication, \"Apparel Terminology under the HTSUS,\" dated July 2006, CBP defines swimwear as: Swimwear (6112, 6211) - is a term referring to garments designed for swimming. Included in this term are swim trunks, which usually have an elasticized waist with a drawstring threaded through it, and a full lightweight support liner. Garments that cannot be identified specifically as swim trunks will be considered shorts. Multiple-use \"sports\" or \"athletic\" shorts that bear a close resemblance to swim trunks and are designed for running, team sports etc. are not considered swimwear. * * * * See U.S. Customs and Border Protection, What Every Member of the Trade Community Should Know About: Apparel Terminology Und", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/968420", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

In Hampco Apparel, Inc. v. United States, 12 CIT 92 (1988), the Court of International Trade stated that three factors must be present if a garment is to be considered swimwear for tariff purposes: (1) the garment has an elasticized waistband through which a drawstring is threaded, (2) the garment has an inner lining of lightweight material, namely nylon tricot, and (3) the garment is designed and constructed for swimming. The court also considered whether a garment is designed, manufactured, marketed and intended to be used as swimwear. It is noted that although the Hampco decision involved classification of swimwear under the Tariff Schedules of the United States, it is relevant to decisions under the HTSUSA as the tariff language at issue is the same and the current tariff does not offer any new or different guidance regarding the distinction between swimwear and shorts.

It is a short sleeve crew neck cardigan that opens down the front with 5 small buttons. It contains embroidery work on the front panels. In its letter, Gymboree requests the classification of the garment in girls\u2019 and toddler girls\u2019 sizes. The garment is assembled from eight components: one back panel, two front panels, two sleeve panels, two placket strips and one neckband. The garment has a stitch count of 14 stitches per 2 centimeters, except for the placket strips which have a stitch count of 27 stitches per 2 centimeters. According to Gymboree, the eight components are knit to shape on flatbed-knitting machines and are in a condition ready for assembly when they are produced. Gymboree also stated that the assembly of Ref# 91002 is accomplished through a \u201clinking process,\u201d which it described in its January 17, 2006 letter as follows: There is no cutting or Is Ref# 91002 a \u201cknit to shape\u201d article described by statistical note 6 to Chapter 61, HTSUSA?

GRI 1 provides, in part, that classification decisions are to be \"determined according to the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes.\" If the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRI may then be applied, in order. The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (\u201cEN\u201d) constitute the official interpretation of the Harmonized System at the international level (for the 4 digit headings and the 6 digit subheadings) and facilitate classification under the HTSUSA by offering guidance in understanding the scope of the headings and GRI. While neither legally binding nor dispositive of classification issues, the EN provide commentary on the scope of each heading of the HTSUSA and are generally indicative of the proper interpretation of the headings. See T.D. 89-80, 54 Fed. Reg. 35127-28 (Aug. 23, 1989). Heading 6110, HTSUSA, provides for: \u201cSweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted.\u201d The EN to heading 6110, in pertinent part, state that the heading covers \u201c\u2026 a category of knitted or crocheted articles, without distinction between male or female wear, designed to cover the upper parts of the body (jerseys, pullovers, cardigans, waistcoats and similar articles).\u201d When classifying garments under the HTSUSA, it is often helpful to consult CBP\u2019s Informed Compliance Publication entitled, \u201cWhat Every Member of the Trade Community Should Know About: Apparel Terminology under the HTSUS,\u201d which was revised in May 2005 (\u201cApparel Terminology ICP\u201d). The Apparel Terminology ICP provides a brief guide for classifying apparel under chapters 61 and 62 of the HTSUSA, and a glossary of working definitions for the apparel-related provisions that appear in those chapters. While the glossary in the Apparel Terminology ICP is not definitive, it does serve as an aid to importers and other interested parties regarding apparel-related terms that appear in the HTSUSA. The working definition in the Apparel Terminology ICP provided for \u201csweaters,\u201d including those of heading 6110, HTSUSA, states in relevant part, that: [they] are knit garments that cover the body from the neck or shoulders to the waist or below (as far as the mid-thigh or slightly below the mid-thigh).

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN - LAW AND ANALYSIS: On December 8, 1994, the President signed into law the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. Section 334 of that Act (codified at 19 U.S.C. 3592) provides new rules of origin for textiles and apparel entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on and after July 1, 1996. On September 5, 1995, Customs published Section 102.21, Customs Regulations, in the Federal Register, implementing Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Thus, effective July 1, 1996, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. Paragraph (c)(1) states, \"The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\" As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) of Section 102.21 is inapplicable. Paragraph (c)(2) states that \"Where the country of origin of a textile or apparel product cannot be determined under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the country of origin of the good is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which each of the foreign materials incorporated in that good underwent an applicable change in tariff classification, and/or met any other requirement, specified for the good in paragraph (e) of this section:\" Paragraph (e) in pertinent part states that \"The following rules shall ap", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/M83315", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

The country of origin for the garments in scenarios 1 and 2 is Italy, the single country where the garments are knit to shape. Origin Determination \u2013 Scenario 3 As the yarns in scenario #3 are sourced in Israel, we refer to Section 102.22(a), Customs Regulations (19 CFR 102.22(a)), an interim Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulation for textile and apparel products that are products of Israel. This provision states that the country of origin of textile products is deemed to be that foreign territory or country where the article last underwent a substantial transformation. Substantial transformation is said to occur when the article has been transformed into a new and different article of commerce by means of substantial manufacturing or processing. An article or material usually will not be considered to be a product of a particular foreign country or territory by virtue of merely trimming and/or joining together by sewing, looping, or other means of attaching otherwise completed knit-to-shape component parts produced in a single country, even when combined with other processes (e.g. washing, drying, mending, etc.) normally incident to the assembly process, including dyeing and packaging operations. In scenario #3, the panties and camisoles will be products of Italy, where the tubes are knit-to-shape with lines of demarcation. After the creation of these tubes, the operations that are performed in Serbia or Tunisia, and the final inspection performed in Israel are considered simple sewing, assembly, and inspectional operations, which do not possess the requisite degree of complexity to be deemed substantial manufacturing processes for purposes of conferring country of origin status. Accordingly, as Israel is not the country of origin as pursuant to Section 102.22(a), we then apply the rules in Section 102.21 (as we used in scenarios 1 and 2) to determine the country of origin: Paragraph (c)(1) states that \u201cThe country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\u201d As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) of Section 102.21 is inapplicable.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN - LAW AND ANALYSIS: On December 8, 1994, the President signed into law the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. Section 334 of that Act (codified at 19 U.S.C. 3592) provides new rules of origin for textiles and apparel entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on and after July 1, 1996. On September 5, 1995, Customs published Section 102.21, Customs Regulations, in the Federal Register, implementing Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Thus, effective July 1, 1996, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. Paragraph (c)(1) states, \"The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\" As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) of Section 102.21 is inapplicable. Paragraph (c)(2) states that \"Where the country of origin of a textile or apparel product cannot be determined under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the country of origin of the good is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which each of the foreign materials incorporated in that good underwent an applicable change in tariff classification, and/or met any other requirement, specified for the good in paragraph (e) of this section:\" Paragraph (e) in pertinent part states that \"The following rules shall apply for purposes of determining the coun", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/L89594", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (EN) constitute the official interpretation of the Harmonized System at the international level (for the 4 digit headings and the 6 digit subheadings) and facilitate classification under the HTSUSA by offering guidance in understanding the scope of the headings and GRI.

See T.D. 89-80, 54 Fed. Reg. 35127-28 (Aug. 23, 1989). As a preliminary matter, we find the rib knit edging around the V-neck to constitute mere trimming which does not affect the classification of style W5-025. See generally General EN to Chapter 62. While decorative, the edging is not an integral component of the garment. As a result, the edging does not necessitate a GRI 3 analysis.

GRI 1 provides that classification shall be determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative section or chapter notes. In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRI may then be applied. The Explanatory Notes (\"EN\") to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, which represent the official interpretation of the tariff at the international level, facilitate classification under the HTSUSA by offering guidance in understanding the scope of the headings and GRI.

Heading 6102 Heading 6102, HTSUSA, provides, in pertinent part, for knitted or crocheted women\u2019s windbreakers and similar articles, other than those of heading 6104. The Informed Compliance Publication (ICP) entitled Apparel Terminology under the HTSUS (January 2004) describes anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles of heading 6102 as garments \u201cdesigned to be worn over another garment for protection against the elements.\u201d It adds: Jackets cover the upper body from the neck area to the waist area, but are generally less than mid-thigh length. They normally have a full front opening, although some jackets may have only a partial front opening. Jackets usually have long sleeves. Knit jackets (due to the particular character of knit fabric) generally have tightening elements at the cuffs and at the waist or bottom of the garment, although children\u2019s garments or garments made of heavier material might not need these tightening elements. This term excludes knit garments that fail to qualify as jackets because they do not provide sufficient protection against the elements. Such garments, if they have full-front openings, may be considered cardigans of heading 6110 (other). In the instant case, style 6399 does not feature tightening at the wrist and bottom, which provides added warmth and protection from the elements.

After reviewing the sample, the port reclassified the garments as jackets of heading 6102, HTSUS, requiring a visa for quota category 335, and issued a notice to redeliver for failure to present the proper visa. The protestant\u2019s counsel, in the protest application, argues for classification of the garments at issue in heading 6110, HTSUS, which required a visa for quota category 339 (the visa which was presented at the time of entry), abandoning the entered classification of heading 6106, HTSUS. The \u201cCustoms Protest and Summons Information Report\u201d indicates the reclassification by the port of the merchandise into heading 6102, HTSUS, as jackets, was based on the application of the \u201cGuidelines for the Reporting of Imported Products in Various Textile and Apparel Categories,\u201d CIE 13/88, November 23, 1988 (hereinafter, \u201cGuidelines\u201d). With regard to garments which are considered \u201chybrid\u201d garments, i.e., exhibiting features of shirts and features of jackets, the \u201cGuidelines\u201d offer a list of features which may indicate a garment should be classified as a jacket or coat if it possesses at least three of the listed features and the result is not unreasonable. The port found the garments possessed three of the listed features\u2014(1) pockets at or below the waist, (2) a heavy-duty zipper and (3) rib knit cuffs and rib knit waistbands. The port also relied on NY ruling letter I84672 of August 5, 2002, in which a girls\u2019 velour garment featuring a hood, two slash pockets, a full front zipper, rib knit cuffs and a rib knit waistband was classified as a jacket of heading 6102, HTSUS. The jacket was constructed of finely knit velour fabric consisting of 80 percent cotton/20 percent polyester fibers. The protestant\u2019s counsel argues that the rib knit waistband of each garment does not provide a means of tightening at the bottom, but allows the garment to hang loosely.

In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRI may then be applied. The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (EN), constitute the official interpretation at the international level. While neither legally binding nor dispositive, the EN provide a commentary on the scope of each heading of the HTSUSA and are generally indicative of the proper interpretation of the headings. In K84208, it was determined that the upper body garment was not classifiable as an outerwear jacket under heading 6201, HTSUS, because the garment does not possess sufficient jacket features. In making the distinction between a shirt classifiable under heading 6205, HTSUS, and a jacket under heading 6201, HTSUS, CBP applies The Guidelines for the Reporting of Imported Products in Various Textile and Apparel Categories, CIE 13/88, (\"Guidelines\"). These Guidelines set forth eleven criteria typically found on outerwear coats/jackets and further note that \"Garments not possessing at least three of the listed features will be considered on an individual basis.\" In circumstances such as these, where the identity of a garment is ambiguous for classification purposes, reference to the Guidelines is appropriate. The Guidelines were developed and revised in accordance with the HTSUS to ensure uniformity, to facilitate statistical classification, and to assist in the determination of the appropriate textile categories established for the administration of the Arrangement Regarding International Trade in Textiles. The Guidelines offer the following with regard to the classification of men\u2019s or boy\u2019s shirt-jackets: Three-quarter length or longer garments commonly known as coats, and other garments such as . . . waist length jackets fall within this category . . A coat is an outerwear garment which covers either the upper part of the body or both the upper and lower parts of the body.

GRI 1 provides that classification shall be determined according to the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Merchandise that cannot be classified in accordance with GRI 1 is to be classified in accordance with subsequent GRI's taken in order. The two headings at issue in this case are 6201, HTSUS, and 6205, HTSUS. Heading 6205 provides for \u201cMen\u2019s or boys\u2019 shirts.\u201d Heading 6201, HTSUS, provides for \u201cMen\u2019s or boys\u2019 overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks - 3 - (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles (including padded, sleeveless jackets), other than those of heading 6203.\u201d Additionally, the Explanatory Notes (EN\u2019s) to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System constitute the official interpretation of the nomenclature at the international level. The EN\u2019s are not legally binding. However, they do represent the considered views of classification experts of the Harmonized System Committee. It has therefore been the practice of CBP to follow, whenever possible, the terms of the EN\u2019s when interpreting the HTSUS. The EN\u2019s offer little assistance in the classification of garments such as the one at issue, which is considered a hybrid-type garment because it contains features generally associated with both shirts and jackets. The EN\u2019s to heading 6101, HTSUS, which apply mutatis mutandis to articles of heading 6201, HTSUS, state that garments of the heading are \u201ccharacterised by the fact that they are generally worn over all other clothing for protection against the weather.\u201d The EN\u2019s to heading 6205, HTSUS, state: With the exception of nightshirts, singlets and other vests of heading 62.07, this heading covers shirts not knitted or crocheted for men or boys including shirts with detachable collars, dress shirts, sports shirts and leisure shirts. The heading does not cover garments having the character of wind-cheaters, wind-jackets, etc., of heading 62.01, which generally have a tightening at the bottom, or of jackets of heading 62.03, which generally have pockets below the waist. Sleeveless garments are also excluded. In a recent Informed Compliance Publication (ICP), CBP provided basic definitions of textile terms that are commonly utilized in the HTSUS and by the trade community. These definitions are not intended to be definitive but rather to provide a basic guideline for classification purposes.

On September 5, 1995, Customs published Section 102.21, Customs Regulations, in the Federal Register, implementing Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Thus, effective July 1, 1996, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. Paragraph (c)(1) states that \"The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\" As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) of Section 102.21 is inapplicable.

The entry was rejected for failure to produce a category 339-1 visa. The garment under consideration, style 89700602, is a woman\u2019s knit sleeveless pullover with a scoop neck and a hemmed bottom. The fabric is composed of 95 percent cotton and 5 percent spandex. The shoulder straps are 2 1/8 inches wide. When placed on a mannequin of corresponding size, the garment did not reach the waist.

GRI 1 provides that the classification of goods shall be determined according to the terms of the headings of the tariff schedule and any relative Section or Chapter Notes. In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRI may then be applied. The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (EN\u2019s) represent the official interpretation of the Harmonized System at the international level (for the 4 digit headings and the 6 digit subheadings) and facilitate classification under the HTSUSA by offering guidance in understanding the scope of the headings and GRI. The EN\u2019s, although not dispositive or legally binding, provide a commentary on the scope of each heading of the HTSUSA, and are generally indicative of the proper interpretation of these headings. You argue that the shoulder straps, being over two inches wide, are too wide for the top to be considered a tank top. You argue that the top is properly classified as a blouse. However, you do not suggest the proper classification for the top. Following GRI 1, three headings present themselves for initial consideration: heading 6106, HTSUSA, which provides for, inter alia, women\u2019s knitted blouses; heading 6109, HTSUSA, which provides for, inter alia, knitted T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments; and heading 6114, HTSUSA, which provides for, inter alia, other women\u2019s knitted garments. Heading 6106, HTSUSA, covers \u201c[w]omen\u2019s or girls\u2019 blouses and shirts, knitted or crocheted.\u201d The EN for Chapter 61 state that \u201c[s]hirts and shirt-blouses are garments designed to cover the upper part of the body, having long or short sleeves and a full or partial opening starting at the neckline. . . .\u201d The instant garment, having a scoop neckline, does not have the requisite full or partial opening starting at the neckline. In a recent informed compliance publication, Customs provided basic definitions of apparel terms that are commonly utilized in the HTSUSA and by the trade community. These definitions are not intended to be definitive but rather to provide a basic guideline for classification purposes. The informed compliance publication describes knit blouses as: garments designed to cover the upper part of the body and extend from the neck area to or below the waist.

Thus, effective July 1, 1996, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. Paragraph (c)(1) states that \"The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\" As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) of Section 102.21 is inapplicable. Paragraph (c)(2) states that \"Where the country of origin of a textile or apparel product cannot be determined under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the country of origin of the good is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which each of the foreign materials incorporated in that good underwent an applicable change in tariff classification, and/or met any other requiremen", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/I85840", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

In Headquarters Ruling (HQ) 958288, dated November 29, 1995, we stated \u201cUsually, when Customs is faced with the classification of a garment that is comprised of a woven material and knit, we refer to a set of classification guidelines set forth in Customs Headquarters Memorandum 084118 (Customs Memorandum), dated April 13, 1989\u201d in order to determine the essential character of a garment. In this ruling, it was determined that the woven panels overlaying the knit fabric were mere decorative trim more similar to an \u201caccessory\u201d to the garment within the meaning of the EN to Chapter 61.1 The ruling further stated that if the woven panels had been viewed as an integral component of the garment, a GRI 3 analysis would be appropriate and the guidelines contained in the Customs Memorandum applied.

In the event that the goods cannot be classified solely on the basis of GRI 1, and if the headings and legal notes do not otherwise require, the remaining GRI may then be applied. The Explanatory Notes (\u201cEN\u201d) to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System facilitate classification under the HTSUSA by offering guidance in understanding the scope of the headings and GRI. Legal Note 13 to Section XI, HTSUSA, states: Unless the context otherwise requires, textile garments of different headings are to be classified in their own headings even if put up in sets for retail sale. For the purposes of this Note, the expression \u201ctextile garments\u201d means garments of headings 6101 to 6114 and headings 6201 to 6211. Therefore, determination of the proper classification for the subject merchandise requires the consideration of the following HTSUSA provisions: heading 6201, HTSUSA, eo nomine provides for inter alia \u201cMen\u2019s or boys\u2019 overcoats, carcoats and similar articles, other than those of heading 6203;\u201d heading 6203, HTSUSA, eo nomine provides for bib overalls and heading 6210, HTSUSA, provides for \u201cGarments, made up of fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906, or 5907.\u201d Legal Note 5 to Chapter 62, HTS, states: Garments which are prima facie classifiable both in heading 6210 and in other heading of this Chapter excluding heading 6209, are to be classified in heading 6210. The EN to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System constitute the official interpretation of the nomenclature at the international level.

In a garment such as the sample before us, which is comprised of a combination of woven and knit components, a determination must be made to whether it is classified in Chapter 61 as a knit article or Chapter 62 as a woven article. The classification of goods in Chapter 62 is not affected by the presence of parts or accessories of, for example, knitted or crocheted fabrics, furskin, feather, leather, plastics or metal. Where, however, the presence of such materials constitutes more than mere trimming the articles are classified in accordance with the relative Chapter Notes (particularly Note 4 to Chapter 43 and Note 2(b) to Chapter 67, relating to the presence of furskin and feathers, respectively), or failing that, according to the General Interpretative Rules.

The garment is classified in Chapter 62 as a woven article. We must now decide where the garment will fall in the tariff. Upon initial examination, the garment could possibly be classified as either a shirt or a sweater.

On September 5, 1995, Customs published Section 102.21, Customs Regulations, in the Federal Register, implementing Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Thus, effective July 1, 1996, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. Paragraph (c)(1) states that \"The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\" As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) of Section 102.21 is inapplicable. Paragraph (c)(2) states that \"Where the country of origin of a textile or apparel product cannot be determined under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the country of origin of the good is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which each of the foreign materials incorporated in that good underwent an applicable change in tariff classification, and/or met any other requirement, specified for the good ", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/h83740", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

The ENs for heading 6205 state in pertinent part: This heading does not cover garments having the character of wind-cheaters, wind jackets, etc. of heading 6201, which generally have a tightening at the bottom, or of the jackets of heading 6203, which generally have pockets below the waist.

The classification of a garment as a jacket or a coat has been addressed in several Customs rulings. Although it has become harder to distinguish between the two for classification purposes because of the fashion trends presently in vogue, certain continued features distinguish the coat from the water resistant anorak or similar garment.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN - LAW AND ANALYSIS: On December 8, 1994, the President signed into law the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. Section 334 of that Act (codified at 19 U.S.C. 3592) provides new rules of origin for textiles and apparel entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on and after July 1, 1996. On September 5, 1995, Customs published Section 102.21, Customs Regulations, in the Federal Register, implementing Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Thus, effective July 1, 1996, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. Paragraph (c)(1) states that \"The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\" As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) of Section 102.21 is inapplicable. Paragraph (c)(2) states that \"Where the country of origin of a textile or apparel product cannot be determined under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the country of origin of the good is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which each of the foreign materials incorporated in that good underwent an applicable change in tariff classification, and/or met any other requirement, ", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/f88206", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

However, there is an exception for products from the United States that are sent abroad for processing. Section 12.130 (c), Customs Regulations, provides that any product of the United States which is returned after having been advanced in value or improved in condition abroad, or assembled abroad, shall be considered a foreign article. Section 12.130, which remains in effect, was originally intended to be used to determine the country of origin of textiles and textile products for quota/visa requirements. In Treasury Decision (T.D.) 90-17, issued February 23, 1990, Customs announced a change in practice and position. This change resulted in Customs using Section 12.130 for quota, duty and marking purposes when making country of origin determinations for textile goods. Therefore, in accordance with T.D. 90-17 and Section 12.130(c), C.R., the country of origin of the woman\u2019s knitted cardigan is Mexico for quota, marking and duty purposes.

COUNTRY OF ORIGIN - LAW AND ANALYSIS: On December 8, 1994, the President signed into law the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. Section 334 of that Act (codified at 19 U.S.C. 3592) provides new rules of origin for textiles and apparel entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on and after July 1, 1996. On September 5, 1995, Customs published Section 102.21, Customs Regulations, in the Federal Register, implementing Section 334 (60 FR 46188). Thus, effective July 1, 1996, the country of origin of a textile or apparel product shall be determined by sequential application of the general rules set forth in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of Section 102.21. Paragraph (c)(1) states that \"The country of origin of a textile or apparel product is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which the good was wholly obtained or produced.\" As the subject merchandise is not wholly obtained or produced in a single country, territory or insular possession, paragraph (c)(1) of Section 102.21 is inapplicable. Paragraph (c)(2) states that \"Where the country of origin of a textile or apparel product cannot be determined under paragraph (c)(1) of this section, the country of origin of the good is the single country, territory, or insular possession in which each of the foreign materials incorporated in that good underwent an applicable change in tariff classification, and/or met any other requirement, specified for the good in paragraph (e) of this section:\" Paragraph (e) in pertinent", "country_of_origin": "", "source_url": "https://rulings.cbp.gov/ruling/f83297", "license": "US public domain (U.S. government work)"}

Specifically, Note 2(b) provides as follows: (b) No article (except a textile article, apparel article, or petroleum, or any product derived from petroleum, provided for in heading 2709 or 2710) may be treated as a foreign article, or as subject to duty, if (i) the article is (A) assembled or processed in whole of fabricated components that are a product of the United States, or (B) processed in whole of ingredients (other than water) that 3 are a product of the United States, in a beneficiary country; and (ii) neither the fabricated components, materials or ingredients, after exportation from the United States, nor the article itself, before importation into the United States, enters the commerce of any foreign country other than a beneficiary country. As used in this paragraph, the term \u201cbeneficiary country\u201d means a country listed in General Note 7(a), HTSUS. Pursuant to General Note 7(a), HTSUS, Panama has been designated as a BC for CBERA purposes. Although U.S. Note 2(b)(i)(A) and (B), Subchapter II, Chapter 98, HTSUS, are separated by the word \u201cor,\u201d it is our opinion that Congress did not intend to preclude duty free treatment under this provision to an article which is created in a BC both by assembling and processing U.S. fabricated components and by processing U.S. ingredients. U.S. Note 2(b), however, specifically excludes textiles and textile articles from duty free treatment under CBERA. In Treasury Decision (\u201cT.D.\u201d) 91 88, 25 Cust. Bull. 45 (1991), Customs determined that only those articles classified in HTSUS provisions which include a textile category number should be considered \u201ctextile\u201d and \u201capparel\u201d articles for purposes of U.S. Note 2(b), Subchapter II, Chapter 98, HTSUS.

GRI 1 provides that classification shall be determined according to the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Heading 6505, HTSUSA, provides for hats and other headgear. According to the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (EN) which customs looks to as a guide in applying the HTSUSA, heading 6505 includes hats made up from textile fabric, berets, skull caps, fezzes, peaked caps, mortar-boards, nurses' headcaps, nuns' headdresses, pith helmets, sou'westers, hoods and top hats. Headgear is defined by The Random House Dictionary of the English Language, the Unabridged Edition (1983) as \"any covering for the head, esp. a hat, cap, bonnet, etc.\" The Encyclopedia Americana (International Edition 1980) defines the term \"hat\" as follows: HAT, strictly, a head covering that has a crown and a brim. Loosely, the term is used for many kinds of headgear. Since earliest times, men have created a great range of headgear, from fitted caps to draped or wrapped veils, turbans and bands. Almost every kind of material has been used - fur, fabric, metal, straw, horns, jewels, feathers, flowers, lace, glass and synthetic materials. Mary Brooks Picken's, The Fashion Dictionary (3rd ed. 1973), provides examples of numerous forms of headgear. Among these we note a chignon, \"a little cap...to be worn over the bun of a chignon.\" Picken's at 52. Thus a chignon covers only a knot or coil of hair at the back of the neck rather than covering the crown of the head. Among the various types of hats is included an open-crown hat, a \"hat with complete brim and partial crown, the center being left open so that hair shows through. Popular when hair is dressed high on the head.\" Picken's at 180. Similarly, turbans include an open-crown version. Picken's at 184. In addition, headgear is also broadly defined under the HTSUSA. All of these definitions provide that headgear is more than just a means for securing or covering other parts of the body. Items which cross the head merely as a means of holding the hair (headbands), or covering the ears (earmuffs) do not meet the definitions of headgear, nor are they similar to any of the articles in the list of exemplars to Heading 6505 contained in the Explanatory Notes, the official interpretation of the HTSUSA at the international level.

If no component comprises 60 percent of the visible surface area, or if any of the above four listed conditions are present, classification will be according to GRI 3(b) or 3(c), as appropriate. As the subject garment features different fabric compositions (i.e., panels with different stitch counts per two centimeters) we must resort to a GRI 3(b) analysis for a classification determination. In your submission you did not provide us with a breakdown by surface area, weight and value of each of the fabric sections which compose the subject pullover. Furthermore, you did not provide us with information regarding the fiber content of the fabrics used to make this garment. Accordingly, for the purposes of this ruling, we will assume that the back and sleeve panels, which are constructed with the same knitted fabric, constitute more than 60 percent of the surface area of the garment and impart the essential character to this garment.

See Texas Instruments, Inc. v. United States, 69 CCPA 152, 681 F.2d 778 (1982). Because the articles in question are textile products subject to section 204 of the Agricultural Act of 1956, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1854), section 12.130, Customs Regulations (19 CFR 12.130), currently is applicable. See T.D. 90-17 dated February 23, 1990 (country of origin rules regarding imported textiles are applicable to insular possessions). Section 12.130, Customs Regulations (19 CFR 12.130), sets forth criteria for determining whether a textile or textile product has been substantially transformed. A textile or textile product will be considered to have undergone a substantial transformation if it has been transformed by means of substantial manufacturing or processing operations into a new and different article of commerce.

Examination of style A0259 yields the finding that the garment lacks several of the features normally associated with jackets. The Guidelines for the Reporting of Imported Products in Various Textile and Apparel Categories, CIE 13/88 (hereinafter cited as Guidelines), enumerate certain criteria which may, in certain situations, create a rebuttable presumption that a garment is classifiable as a jacket.

This determination rested primarily on the presence of a full frontal heavy-duty zipper, the teeth of which measured approximately 6 mm in width. We noted that full frontal zippers are relatively uncommon in shirts and the heavy gauge of the zipper served to create the impression of a jacket rather than a shirt.

For upper or lower body garments, if one component exceeds 60 percent of the visible surface area, that component will determine the classification of the garment unless the other component: (1) forms the entire front of the garment; or (2) provides a visual and significant decorative effect (e.g. a substantial amount of lace); or (3) is over 50 percent by weight of the garment; or (4) is valued at more than 10 times the primary component In the case of the submitted merchandise, as the two woven panels form the entire front of the garment, the essential character of the garment is designated by the woven fabric.

In HRL 955084, which was issued to your office on March 23, 1994, on behalf of another importer, we dealt with the classification of a women's garment very similar to the one at issue here. The sample in HRL 955084 was a women's long sleeve knit 100% lambswool garment that extended from the wearer's neck and shoulders to well below her knees. The fabric of the garment had more than nine stitches per two centimeters measured in the horizontal direction. The garment also had rib knit cuffs, a two inch rib knit bottom, a v-neckline and a full front opening that closed with twelve fabric covered buttons. In determining the classification of this garment, Customs looked to headings 6102, HTSUS, and 6110, HTSUS. Heading 6102, HTSUS, provides for, inter alia, women's or girls' coats. Heading 6110, HTSUS, provides for sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted. We determined that the garment, though made of 100% wool, was not classifiable as a coat in heading 6102, HTSUS, because the thinness of the fabric provided inadequate protection against the elements. We held that the garment was classifiable in heading 6110, HTSUS, as it had features of a sweater-like garment. For example, the garment provided warmth to the wearer and was constructed of a knit fabric that provided a high degree of elasticity. Moreover, the fact that the garment exceeded the \"mid-thigh length rule\" for sweaters, as set forth in the Textile Category Guidelines, CIE 13/88, November 23, 1988, did not preclude its classification in heading 6110, HTSUS, based on the garment's fabric, construction, styling and use.

When determining the classification of garments such as those at issue here, we believe it is appropriate to look to the Guidelines. The subject garment appears to possess some characteristics of a shirt and some features generally associated with jackets. In regard to garments such as this, the Guidelines list, on page 6, various features generally associated with jackets. Provided that the result is not unreasonable, if a garment possesses at least three of the listed features, it would be considered a jacket. In addition, according to the Guidelines, garments that do not possess at least three of the listed features will be considered on an individual basis. In determining whether the instant garment is a jacket, we look to the garment's features. The garment exhibits two of the features listed in the Guidelines: a partial lining and a large jacket button. The garment does not possess three features which would trigger classification as a jacket. However, taking into consideration the above features and the fact that it provides the overall impression of a jacket and it is designed to be worn over other outerwear garments, Customs views it reasonable to consider this garment a jacket.

Although the instant item appears to be constructed for wear over other clothing, it is not one of, or similar to, any of the named articles of Heading 6102, HTSUSA. Also, the garment in question is not constructed of a material that would protect the wearer against the elements. Consequently, the subject garment is not classifiable under Heading 6102, HTSUSA.

As such, classification of the garments will be based solely on the submitted merchandise. The boiled wool fabric used to make the three samples under review is a descendant of the \"loden cloth\", which originated in Tyrol, a section of Austria. As explained in George E. Linton's The Modern Textile and Apparel Dictionary, (4th revised ed., 1973), p.341-342, this fabric which was originally woven, is a thick, fulled soft material that is quite waterproof without being treated chemically, and is an ideal cloth for use in winter wear garments such as sports clothes, finger-tip or full-length coatings throughout the world. \"Fulling\" is described as a process in the finishing of woolen cloth. The cloth is dampened and beaten under heat, which causes shrinking, increases the weight and obscures the weave of the cloth (Ibid p. 258). More recently, these same effects, i.e., fabric strength and stability, and warmth and protection from the elements for the wearer, were achieved using knitted fabric that was especially constructed and treated, as an alternative to the more traditional woven fabric. The knitting process produced a \"links and links\" fabric structure that was boiled in water at very high temperatures. The fabric featured tightened knit stitches, great structural stability and reduced horizontal elasticity. Garments made with this fabric are called \"loden coats\", \"loden jackets\" or more simply, \"boiled wool jackets\".

Where, however, those goods have parts or accessories that contribute materially to their character or usefulness (for example, heavy weight linings which provide a substantial degree of warmth to the wearer), then they must be considered along with the outer shells and other significant portions in determining the proper classification of those goods. In this situation, it is appropriate to utilize Subheading Note 2(B)(a) of Section XI, HTSUSA.

You are of the opinion that both garments should be classified in heading 6110 as sweatshirts or garments similar to sweatshirts. However, various sources define a sweatshirt as a pullover garment. Mary Brooks Picken (1973), The Fashion Dictionary, defines a sweatshirt as a \"collarless, high-necked, pull-over sweater; often with fleecy inside and fine-ribbed outside.\" (p. 374) The Guidelines for the Reporting of Imported Products in Various Textile and Apparel Categories, CIE 13/88 at page 13 states that sweatshirts are pullover style garments and that a sweatshirt with a full frontal opening is treated as a jacket.

The subject garments are of a type used in cool weather to provide an extra layer of protection while exercising outdoors. The tightly knit outer surface, with the napped inner surface, provides a layer of insulating warmth. Sweatshirts on the other hand are worn primarily for their moisture wicking properties.
