6201.90.49.10 - Subject to cotton restraints (334) 🖩

This HTS category, 6201.90.49.10, specifically covers recreational performance outerwear within the broader classification of men's or boys' anoraks, windbreakers, and similar garments. These are articles designed for athletic or outdoor activities where enhanced protection from the elements, breathability, and freedom of movement are paramount. Examples include specialized ski jackets, technical hiking shells, and advanced rain gear intended for active use. The "other" designation at this level signifies that these items do not fall under more specific sub-classifications within recreational performance outerwear.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. 6201.90.49.20 pertains to similar garments subject to wool restraints, while 6201.90.49.30 covers articles under man-made fiber restraints. The current category, 6201.90.49.10, is defined by its specific textile material content and is subject to distinct cotton restraints, as indicated by the (334) code. 6201.90.49.60 represents a residual "other" category for recreational performance outerwear not covered by any specific restraints.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, proper classification hinges on the accurate identification of the garment's function as recreational performance outerwear and confirmation that it is subject to cotton restraints. Exporters and importers should carefully review the material composition and intended use of the garments to ensure correct entry under this specific HTS code.
