Protect Our Clothes from PFAS Act

This legislation, officially titled the "Protect Our Clothes from PFAS Act" , aims to revise the criteria for classifying garments as water resistant within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). The bill specifically targets chapter 62 of the HTSUS , which pertains to various articles of apparel and clothing accessories. The primary mechanism for this change is the amendment of Additional U.S. Note 2 to chapter 62 . By striking the second sentence of this note, the bill intends to modify the existing definition or standards that determine whether a garment qualifies as water resistant for tariff purposes.
