6202.30.30.00 - Containing 15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage and of which down comprises 35 percent or more by weight; containing 10 percent or more by weight of down (354)

This HTS category encompasses women's or girls' recreational performance outerwear, specifically those falling under the broader classification of anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles. These garments are designed for athletic or outdoor activities, emphasizing features that provide protection against the elements while allowing for ease of movement. Crucially, for classification within this subcategory, the garments must contain 15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage, with down constituting at least 35 percent of that plumage by weight. Alternatively, the outerwear may be classified here if it contains 10 percent or more by weight of down.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, "Other," by the specific and stringent down and waterfowl plumage content requirements. While "Other" would cover similar recreational outerwear that does not meet the down/plumage thresholds, this category is reserved for those articles with a significant down fill, indicating a higher degree of insulation for colder weather performance. The emphasis is on the technical nature and insulating properties derived from the specific down composition.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6202.30.30.00 is therefore final based on the article meeting the described criteria for women's or girls' recreational performance outerwear and its specific down and waterfowl plumage content. Examples of items that would fall into this category include insulated ski jackets, down-filled parkas designed for outdoor sports, and other weather-resistant jackets with substantial down insulation intended for active pursuits.
