6202.40.40.21 - Girls' (435)

This HTS classification, 6202.40.40.21, specifically covers girls' recreational performance outerwear that are not knitted or crocheted. These garments are designed for athletic or outdoor activities and are characterized by features such as water resistance, breathability, and insulation, intended to provide protection against the elements during strenuous use. The "girls'" designation distinguishes these items from those intended for adult women.

Within the broader category of "Other" recreational performance outerwear, this subheading is differentiated from its sibling, 6202.40.40.11, by its intended wearer. While both subheadings fall under the "Other" designation within recreational performance outerwear, 6202.40.40.11 pertains to women's garments. This specific classification is for garments made of man-made fibers, and further refined by containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, signifying a blend of synthetic and natural fibers to achieve specific performance and comfort characteristics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this heading is determined by the garment's construction, its intended use as recreational performance outerwear, its material composition (man-made fibers with a specific wool/fine animal hair content), and its sizing for girls.
