It observed that PVC raincoats are made by sealing sheets of plastics and therefore constitute articles of plastics falling under HSN Code 3926, and not garments or apparel under HSN Code 6201. The authority further held that although raincoats are generally covered under Chapter 62 when made of textile materials, plastic raincoats primarily composed of PVC cannot be treated as garments of textiles. Consequently, it was held that the supply of PVC raincoats is classifiable under HSN Code 3926 and taxable at 18% under entry no. 111 of Schedule III of Notification No. 1\/2017, dated 28-06-2017.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW113940740 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:1,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:280}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><em>List of Case Reviewed<\/em><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centaxonline.com\/search?searchData=(2025)%2029%20Centax%20199%20%2F%20%5B2025%5D%20173%20taxmann.com%20407%20(AAR%20-%20West%20Bengal)&amp;itemType=AP\">Dollar Industries Ltd<\/a>. \u2014(2025) 29 Centax 199 \/ [2025] 173 taxmann.com 407 (AAR &#8211; West Bengal) \u2014\u00a0<b>Affirmed<\/b>\u00a0[Para 32]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><em>List of Case Cited\u00a0<\/em><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.centaxonline.com\/search?searchData=1996%20(87)%20E.L.T.%20340%20(S.C.)&amp;itemType=AP\">CCE v.
