Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
Customs has received a petition submitted on behalf of a domestic interested party concerning the tariff classification of 1.25 ounce nonwoven disposable polypropylene protective coveralls. The petitioner challenges Customs classification of the subject garments under subheading 6210.10.5000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for ``[G]arments made up of fabrics of heading 5602 or 5603: other: nonwoven disposable apparel designed for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories or contaminated areas.'' The petitioner states that these types of garments do not provide adequate protection to be considered true protective apparel, and advocates classification under subheading 6210.10.9010, HTSUS, which provides for ``[G]arments made up of fabrics of heading 5602 or 5603: other: other: other * * * overalls and coveralls'' which do not qualify as apparel designed for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories or contaminated areas. The petitioner challenges Customs interpretation of the term ``designed for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories or contaminated areas'' for purposes of classifying garments within subheading 6210.10.5000, HTSUS.
