6201.20.40.21 - Boys' (434)

This HTS category, 6201.20.40.21, specifically classifies boys' anoraks, windbreakers, and similar padded or sleeveless jackets. These garments are designed for outerwear, offering protection against wind and, in some cases, light rain or cold. The key characteristics include their construction from woven textiles (not knitted or crocheted), as per Chapter 62, and their function as casual or sporting outerwear. Examples within this classification would encompass puffer vests, lightweight waterproof jackets, and hooded windbreakers intended for young male individuals.

The distinction from its sibling category, 6201.20.40.11, lies solely in the intended wearer. While both subcategories cover anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles within the broader "Other" classification for padded or sleeveless jackets of wool or fine animal hair, this node is exclusively for **boys'** apparel, whereas the sibling is for **men's** apparel.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification, 6201.20.40.21 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes under this code is on ensuring the garment meets the criteria of being an anorak, windbreaker, or similar article, is padded or sleeveless, is not knitted or crocheted, and is specifically designed for boys. The material content (wool or fine animal hair) is established at a higher level of the hierarchy, meaning the primary determinative factor at this specific code is the gender designation of the intended wearer.
