6102.90.90.15 - Subject to man-made fiber restraints (635)

This HTS classification pertains to women's or girls' overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers, and similar knitted or crocheted articles, which are *not* classified under heading 6104. Specifically, this category encompasses garments made from "other textile materials" not falling under the broader categories of cotton or wool. The key distinguishing factor for items classified under 6102.90.90.15 is that they are made from man-made fibers and are subject to specific man-made fiber restraints, as indicated by the restraint code (635).

This particular classification is distinguished from its siblings by the material composition and the associated trade restraints. HTS code 6102.90.90.05 covers similar garments subject to cotton restraints, while 6102.90.90.10 applies to those subject to wool restraints. The remaining sibling, 6102.90.90.30, is a residual category for "other" similar knitted or crocheted outerwear not covered by the preceding sub-classifications. Therefore, when classifying an item, the importer must first determine if it is knitted or crocheted outerwear, then ascertain its material (cotton, wool, man-made fiber, or other textile), and finally check for any applicable trade restraints before arriving at the correct classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories within 6102.90.90.15. The classification is definitive based on the criteria of being knitted or crocheted women's or girls' outerwear, made of other textile materials (specifically man-made fibers), and subject to the specified man-made fiber restraints. Importers should carefully consult the specific text of the restraint and any related rulings to ensure accurate classification and compliance with import regulations.
