6202.40.10.00 - 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 (654)

This HTS category, 6202.40.10.00, specifically classifies women's or girls' overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles, excluding those classified under heading 6204. The defining characteristic of items within this subcategory is their composition of man-made fibers and their weight. Crucially, to fall under this classification, the garment must contain 15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage, with down comprising at least 35 percent of that plumage. Alternatively, the garment qualifies if it contains 10 percent or more by weight of down, regardless of the total plumage percentage.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, "Other," by the stringent material composition requirements related to down and waterfowl plumage. While the "Other" category would encompass similar outerwear made of man-made fibers that do not meet the specific down/plumage thresholds outlined here, this subcategory provides a precise classification for highly insulated garments.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification is determined solely by meeting the specified material composition criteria of down and waterfowl plumage in conjunction with the garment type and main fiber content (man-made fibers). Examples include heavily insulated ski jackets, parkas, and winter coats designed for women and girls that are primarily constructed from synthetic materials and filled with a significant proportion of down and feathers.
