6201.30.20.10 - Men's (334)

This HTS subcategory, 6201.30.20.10, specifically classifies men's raincoats that fall under the broader heading of overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles of cotton. These garments are designed to provide protection from rain and are typically characterized by waterproof or water-resistant materials and construction, often featuring sealed seams and hoods. The classification hinges on the garment's primary function as rainwear for men.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6201.30.20.20, is the gender specification. While both are men's or boys' raincoats made of cotton, this particular subcategory is exclusively for men's garments. The distinction is based on sizing, cut, and design features typically associated with men's apparel. It is crucial for importers and exporters to correctly identify the intended recipient based on these established gender-based classifications.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6201.30.20.10 requires a definitive determination that the article is indeed a raincoat, made of cotton, and intended for men. Specific garment features such as the presence of a hood, the type of closure (zipper, buttons), and the length of the garment are important considerations in ensuring accurate classification within this specific rainwear category.
