6202.40.20.05 - Women's (635)

This HTS classification, 6202.40.20.05, specifically covers women's raincoats that are not knitted or crocheted and are made of man-made fibers. These garments are designed to provide protection from rain and are typically characterized by their waterproof or water-resistant properties. The scope includes a wide range of styles, such as trench coats, parkas, and hooded jackets, provided they meet the material and construction requirements.

Within the broader category of women's or girls' overcoats, carcoats, and similar articles of man-made fibers, this subcategory differentiates based on both the intended wearer and the specific function as a raincoat. While sibling category 6202.40.20.10 covers the equivalent garments for girls, this classification is exclusively for adult women. The defining factor here is the primary purpose of rain protection, distinguishing these items from general-purpose overcoats or windbreakers that may not possess the same level of water resistance.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the article being a raincoat, made for women, not knitted or crocheted, and constructed from man-made fibers. Key classification considerations would include the material composition (e.g., polyester, nylon, vinyl), the presence of waterproofing treatments or membranes, and the overall design features indicative of rainwear.
