6113.00.10 - Having an outer surface impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with rubber or plastics material which completely obscures the underlying fabric

This HTS classification, 6113.00.10, specifically addresses articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted and possess an outer surface where the underlying fabric is entirely obscured by impregnation, coating, covering, or lamination with rubber or plastics. This ensures that the textile component is not visible and the dominant characteristic of the garment's exterior is the rubber or plastic material.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6113.00.90, by the explicit requirement that the rubber or plastic material *completely* obscures the underlying fabric. Goods classified under 6113.00.90 would therefore be knitted or crocheted garments where the rubber or plastic treatment does not fully cover or hide the textile weave or knit.

The subcategories within 6113.00.10 further refine the classification based on the specific type of garment. For instance, one subdivision exists for "Coats and jackets," indicating that these particular types of apparel, when meeting the rubber/plastic obscuration criteria, will be further categorized. The existence of these subcategories allows for more granular tracking and statistical analysis of imported or exported goods within this specific segment of treated textile apparel.
