6201.30.12.00 - Containing 15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage and of which down comprises 35 percent or more by weight; containing 10 percent or more by weight of down (353) 🖩

This HTS classification (6201.30.12.00) specifically covers men's or boys' overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, and similar articles that are padded and made of cotton. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is the composition of the filling. The garment must contain 15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage, with down itself constituting at least 35 percent of that total plumage weight. Alternatively, the garment qualifies if it contains 10 percent or more by weight of down, regardless of the total plumage percentage.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 6201.30.20 ("Other"), by the specific material and fill requirements. While 6201.30.20 would encompass other types of cotton coats not meeting the precise down and plumage percentage criteria, 6201.30.12.00 isolates garments where down and waterfowl plumage are the primary insulating components. This allows for a more precise tariff application based on the value and insulating properties provided by the filling.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this specific code relies entirely on meeting the outlined material and fill percentage thresholds for cotton-based overcoats and similar outerwear. Examples of items that would fall under this heading include cotton parkas, quilted cotton jackets, and down-filled cotton anoraks designed for men or boys, provided they meet the weight percentages of down and waterfowl plumage.
