6201.40.40 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair

This classification, HTS Code 6201.40.40, specifically pertains to men's and boys' outerwear that is characterized by a significant wool or fine animal hair content. These articles are further defined as "other" within the broader categories of recreational performance outerwear. The defining criterion for inclusion in this subcategory is that the garment must contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This emphasis on material composition distinguishes these garments from other types of recreational outerwear that may be primarily composed of synthetic or other natural fibers.

Within the "Other" classification for recreational performance outerwear that is not of man-made fibers, this specific HTS code acts as a focal point for articles meeting the specified wool content. While the broader heading 6201 encompasses a range of garments like overcoats, carcoats, windbreakers, and similar items, this particular subcategory narrows the focus to those where wool or fine animal hair is the predominant fiber by weight. This ensures accurate duty assessment based on the substantial presence of these natural fibers, often indicative of garments designed for warmth and insulation in outdoor activities.

The subcategories 6201.40.40.11 and 6201.40.40.21 further subdivide these wool-rich garments based on the intended wearer: "Men's" and "Boys'." This distinction allows for the specific identification and statistical tracking of these items based on their size and fit, catering to the different requirements for men's and boys' apparel.
