6201.30.40.00 - Water resistant (334) 🖩

This HTS classification covers men's or boys' recreational performance outerwear, specifically anoraks, ski jackets, windbreakers, and similar articles of cotton that are water-resistant. The term "recreational performance outerwear" emphasizes garments designed for active outdoor use, incorporating features that protect against the elements while facilitating physical activity. These items are distinct from general-purpose casual wear and are characterized by their construction and material properties aimed at performance in sporting or recreational contexts.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, HTS 6201.30.50 "Other," by its specific designation as "Recreational performance outerwear." While both fall under the broader umbrella of cotton anoraks and windbreakers, this classification specifically targets garments where water resistance is a key functional attribute tailored for athletic or outdoor recreational activities. The parent category, "Anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles (including padded, sleeveless jackets) Of cotton," provides the foundational grouping for these types of garments made from cotton.

As a leaf node, HTS 6201.30.40.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code lies on meeting the criteria of being a water-resistant anorak, ski jacket, windbreaker, or similar article made of cotton, intended for recreational performance. Key considerations for classification under this code would include specific fabric treatments, seam sealing, design features like adjustable hoods or cuffs, and overall construction intended to provide protection against moisture during physical exertion.
