Proposed Modification of Ruling Letter Would Triple the Duty on Men’s Full Zip Hoodie (Jacket)

In NY N316817, CBP classified men’s full zip hoodie (jacket) in heading 6110, HTSUS, specifically in subheading 6110.20.20 (rate of duty 5%), HTSUS, which provides for “Sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted: Of cotton: Other: Other: Other: Men’s or boys’: Other.” CBP has reviewed NY N316817 and has determined the ruling letter to be in error. It is now CBP’s position that men’s full zip hoodie (jacket) is properly classified, in heading 6101, HTSUS, specifically in subheading 6101.20.20 (rate of duty 15.9%), HTSUS, which provides for “Men’s or boys’ overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6103: Of cotton: Men’s.”
