RE:  The tariff classification of two boys' jackets from China

Dear Mr. Baker:

     In your letter dated April 11, 1991, on behalf of Brambilla
USA of Denver, you requested a classification ruling.  
 
     Two samples were submitted as follows:  Style number LRC013
is a boy's size 10 jacket constructed of a woven shell composed
of a 100% cotton fabric stated to be coated with a 600mm acrylic
coating rendering the garment water resistant.  Style number
LRC015/1 is a boy's size 10 jacket constructed of a woven
outershell composed of a 65% polyester/35% cotton jacket also
stated to be coated with a 600mm acrylic coating rendering the
garment water resistant.  Each jacket has a mosaic print lining.

     The coating on each jacket does not change the surface
character of the fabric, therefore HTS 6210 does not apply.

     Both jackets have a full front opening with a heavy-duty
zipper closure.  An overlapping flap secured by two buttons
covers the zipper area.  The outer portion of each collar is
composed of a corduroy fabric.  Style LRC013 has a buttoned tab
on the collar, adjustable buttoned tabs on the sleeve cuffs and
two side seam buttoned tabs at the bottom hem.  There are two
double entry front pockets with buttoned flaps at the waist, and
two slash pockets and one buttoned flap pocket on the chest.  A
flap with embroidery is sewn onto the seam of the right sleeve.  

     Style LRC015/1 has two patch pockets at the waist and two
double entry chest pockets.  Each pocket is secured by a buttoned
flap.  There are two side seam button closures at the bottom hem
and button closures on the sleeve cuffs.

     The samples are being returned to you as you have requested.

     Based on the laboratory test report submitted for water
resistance, the applicable subheading for sample LRC013 will be
6201.92.1500, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other boys' anoraks, windbreakers and
similar articles, of cotton, water resistant.  The duty rate will
be 6.6 percent ad valorem.

     Based on the laboratory test report submitted for water
resistance, the applicable subheading for sample LRC015/1 will be
6201.93.3000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for other boys' anoraks, windbreakers and
similar articles, of man-made fibers, water resistant.  The duty
rate will be 7.6 percent ad valorem.
     
      Style LRC013 falls within textile category designation 334. 
Style LRC015/1 falls within textile category designation 634. 
Based upon international textile trade agreements products of
China are presently subject to quota restraints and the
requirement of a visa.

     The designated textile and apparel categories may be
subdivided into parts.  If so, visa and quota requirements
applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected.  Since
part categories are the result of international bilateral
agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and
changes, to obtain the most current information available, we
suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the Status
Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an internal
issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available for
inspection at your local Customs office. 

     This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

     A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported.  If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.

                                        Sincerely,



                                        Jean F. Maguire
