6202.20.40 - Other

This HTS classification, 6202.20.40, pertains to "Other" anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles, not knitted or crocheted, made of wool or fine animal hair. This broad category encompasses outerwear that shares functional similarities with anoraks and windbreakers but does not fit into more specific descriptions within this chapter. Examples include padded sleeveless jackets and other garments designed for protection against the elements, when they are not explicitly covered by the preceding subheadings.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6202.20.35.00, which specifically covers "Padded, sleeveless jackets." While padded sleeveless jackets may fall under the general umbrella of similar articles, 6202.20.40 is for those items that are *not* padded and sleeveless, or otherwise don't meet the precise definition of the sibling category. The primary differentiator lies in the presence or absence of padding and the sleeveless nature of the garment.

Within this classification, further distinctions are made based on the intended wearer. The subcategories 6202.20.40.11 and 6202.20.40.21 differentiate between garments designed for "Women's" and "Girls'" respectively. This allows for precise classification based on sizing, cut, and styling specific to each demographic, ensuring accurate duty assessment and statistical reporting.
