6201.40.50 - Other

This HTS category, HTS 6201.40.50, encompasses "Other" recreational performance outerwear made of man-made fibers. This classification applies to garments that fall within the scope of men's or boys' anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles, but which do not fit into more specific sub-classifications. The defining characteristic here is that these items are designed for recreational performance and are not water-resistant, which distinguishes them from their sibling category.

The distinction from sibling category 6201.40.45.00, "Water resistant," is crucial. While both share the same parentage of recreational performance outerwear made of man-made fibers, this category specifically excludes items explicitly described or functioning as water-resistant. Therefore, garments classified here are typically designed for breathability, wind protection, or insulation without an inherent water-repellent treatment or membrane.

To further refine classification, this category is subdivided into two distinct subcategories: men's and boys'. This division allows for specific treatment and statistical tracking based on the intended wearer. HTS 6201.40.50.11 covers "Men's" items, while HTS 6201.40.50.21 addresses "Boys'" items, reflecting standard practice in customs classification to differentiate based on gender and age group for apparel.
