6201.30.70.00 - Water resistant (334)

This HTS category, 6201.30.70.00, specifically covers water-resistant anoraks, windbreakers, and similar garments for men or boys. These articles are designed to provide protection against moderate moisture. The "water-resistant" designation is a key classification criterion, distinguishing these items from those that are fully waterproof or offer no such protection. The category encompasses a range of casual outerwear, including padded and sleeveless jackets, that do not fall under the more formal overcoat or carcoat classifications.

This classification is distinct from its sibling, 6201.30.80, which covers "other" anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles that do not meet the water-resistant criterion. Therefore, for classification purposes, the presence or absence of water-resistant properties is the primary factor in differentiating these two categories. The articles here are made of cotton, as indicated by the parent category "Of cotton."

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Classification within this sub-heading will therefore depend entirely on whether the article in question is an anorak, windbreaker, or similar item for men or boys, made of cotton, and possesses water-resistant characteristics. Examples include light jackets intended for casual wear in damp conditions.
