Importers of Women's & Girls' Woven Garments of Coated, Impregnated, or Laminated Fabric paid $3.0M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $19.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFunctional outerwear for women and girls — including coated rain jackets, rubberized protective garments, and plastic-laminated fashion pieces — falls under this heading when the base construction is woven rather than knit. The coating or lamination method (whether applied to the face, back, or sandwiched between layers) can affect both classification and the garment's end-use market positioning, from technical outdoor wear to fashion-forward streetwear. Buyers sourcing from Southeast Asia or China should evaluate Section 301 exposure carefully, as it can significantly affect total landed cost for this category.

At the SITC heading level, both plastic and rubber coatings are captured together. However, at the 10-digit HTS level, the specific coating material, fiber content, and garment type can drive classification into distinct tariff lines with different duty rates. A licensed customs broker should review the technical specifications of the fabric before entry.
Importers generally need a fabric technical data sheet or mill certificate confirming the coating or lamination process, along with a description of the coating material (e.g., PVC, polyurethane, rubber). CBP may also request a laboratory analysis if the coating is not readily apparent. Maintaining this documentation in the import file helps defend the classification during a CBP audit.
