6201.20 - Of wool or fine animal hair:

This HTS category, 6201.20, specifically covers men's and boys' outer garments such as overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets), windbreakers, and similar articles, that are constructed from wool or fine animal hair. These garments are designed for warmth and protection from the elements, typically worn as the outermost layer of apparel. The defining characteristic for classification within this sub-heading is the primary textile material composition.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 6201.30, 6201.40, and 6201.90, is crucial. While all fall under heading 6201, this sub-heading is exclusively for garments where wool or fine animal hair constitutes the predominant fiber content. For instance, garments made primarily of cotton would be classified under 6201.30, while those composed mainly of man-made fibers belong to 6201.40. Categories under 6201.90 encompass articles made from other textile materials not specified in the preceding sub-headings.

Within 6201.20, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the specific type of garment. These include "Overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks and similar coats," which represent heavier, more formal outer garments, and "Anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles (including padded, sleeveless jackets)," which tend to be lighter, more casual, and often designed for athletic or outdoor activities. This breakdown allows for more precise identification of the garment's style and intended use, further informing customs processing.
