6201.40.70.00 - Water resistant (634)

This classification, HTS Code 6201.40.70.00, specifically covers water-resistant anoraks, windbreakers, and similar garments designed for men or boys, which are not knitted or crocheted. These items are characterized by their protective qualities against light rain or moisture. The term "water resistant" in this context refers to materials and construction that repel water to a certain degree, but may not offer full waterproofing. Examples include jackets with tightly woven fabrics, coated textiles, or those featuring water-repellent finishes, intended for casual wear or outdoor activities where protection from light precipitation is desired.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 6201.40.75, which also falls under "Other" anoraks and similar articles. While both fall under the broader "Other" subheadings, this specific code is precisely designated for garments explicitly identified as "water resistant." The sibling category would encompass those anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles that are *not* water-resistant or where water resistance is not a defining characteristic for classification purposes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level hinges on the direct identification of the garment as water-resistant. Importers and exporters should carefully examine product specifications and labeling to confirm the presence and degree of water resistance, as this is the primary determinant for accurately assigning goods to this classification.
