6201.40.50.11 - Men's (634)

This HTS category, 6201.40.50.11, specifically classifies men's articles of apparel that fall under the broader group of anoraks, windbreakers, and similar garments. These items are characterized by their function as recreational performance outerwear, designed for protection against the elements during outdoor activities. The "Other" designations within the subheadings indicate that these garments do not fit into more specific subcategories based on particular design features, materials, or intended uses that might warrant a more granular classification.

The primary distinction from its sibling category, 6201.40.50.21, lies in the intended wearer: this category is exclusively for "Men's" apparel, while the sibling category covers "Boys'" apparel. Both categories share the overarching description of recreational performance outerwear that is neither knitted nor crocheted and is made of man-made fibers, but the demographic is the key differentiator.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, classification within this code relies on ensuring the garment meets all preceding criteria: it is a men's anorak, ski-jacket, windbreaker, or similar item; it is considered recreational performance outerwear; it is not knitted or crocheted; it is made of man-made fibers; and it does not fall into any more specific subclassification. Examples would include men's technical outdoor jackets designed for activities like hiking, skiing, or running, where performance features like waterproofing, breathability, and insulation are paramount.
