Overview

This classification covers men's or boys' anoraks, including ski jackets, windbreakers, and similar garments designed for recreational performance. These items are characterized by their functional design for outdoor activities, often featuring water-resistant or windproof materials, breathability, and features like adjustable hoods, cuffs, and ventilation. The key defining characteristic for this subcategory is that these articles must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, as indicated by the (735) reference.

This specific category is distinguished from its sibling, 6201.90.49 ("Other"), by its explicit material composition requirement. While 6201.90.49 would encompass recreational performance outerwear made from textile materials other than the specified silk content, this category is exclusively for those garments meeting the high silk percentage threshold. This ensures that items with substantial silk content are appropriately categorized, reflecting their unique material properties and potentially different trade implications.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 6201.90.39.00 hinges directly on meeting the conditions outlined: the garment must be a men's or boys' anorak, ski jacket, windbreaker, or similar article intended for recreational performance, and crucially, it must be composed of 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Examples would include high-end silk ski jackets or performance windbreakers with a significant silk blend.
