6201.30 - Of cotton:
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category, 6201.30, specifically classifies men's or boys' overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, windbreakers, and similar garments that are primarily constructed from cotton. This includes a range of outerwear designed for protection against the elements, such as jackets and coats.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 6201.20 covers similar garments made of wool or fine animal hair, while 6201.40 pertains to those manufactured from man-made fibers. HTS 6201.90, conversely, is for garments made of other textile materials not specified in the preceding categories. The defining characteristic for classification under 6201.30 is the predominant use of cotton as the textile material.
Within this cotton-based classification, further subdivisions exist to distinguish between different types of outerwear. The subcategories differentiate between "Overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks and similar coats" which generally refer to longer, more formal outer garments, and "Anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles (including padded, sleeveless jackets)," which typically describe shorter, more casual, and functional outerwear often designed for athletic or outdoor activities. This distinction aids in precise classification based on garment style and intended use.
