6201.40.15.10 - Men's (434)

This HTS category, 6201.40.15.10, specifically classifies men's overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles when these garments are primarily constructed from man-made fibers and contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. The emphasis is on outerwear designed for men, falling under the broader scope of not knitted or crocheted apparel. This inclusion of wool or fine animal hair, even when the predominant fiber is man-made, is a critical distinguishing factor for classification within this sub-heading.

It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, 6201.40.15.20, which covers identical garment types but for boys. The classification hinges on the intended gender of the wearer, a fundamental criterion in apparel tariff lines. Therefore, garments that meet the material and construction requirements but are designed for boys would fall under the sibling category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 6201.40.15.10. The classification is finalized at this level based on the garment type, the fact that it is not knitted or crocheted, that it is made of man-made fibers, that it contains 36% or more wool or fine animal hair by weight, and that it is intended for men. Examples of items falling here would include men's wool-blend parkas or men's trench coats with a significant wool content, even if other synthetic fibers form the bulk of the material composition.
