## Summary

**Removes the rule that water resistance must come from a rubber or plastics coating in the U.S. tariff schedule for garments.** The Protect Our Clothes from PFAS Act would amend Additional U.S. Note 2 to chapter 62 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule by striking the sentence that ties water resistance to a rubber or plastics application, changing how imported clothing is classified as water resistant for tariff purposes. The bill’s title highlights concern about PFAS chemicals used in fabric treatments.
