Overview
This HTS category encompasses a variety of women's or girls' outerwear, specifically those not knitted or crocheted, that are constructed with a significant wool or fine animal hair content, accounting for 36 percent or more by weight. These garments are designed for warmth and protection from the elements and include items such as overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets), windbreakers, and similar articles. This classification also extends to padded and sleeveless jackets that fall under the general description of outerwear but are not specifically classified under heading 6204.
The "Other" sub-levels at this stage indicate that the preceding classifications have addressed more specific types of outerwear within heading 6202, likely related to material composition or particular garment styles that are not applicable here. Therefore, this particular branch of the tariff schedule is a residual category for wool or fine animal hair content outerwear that doesn't fit into more narrowly defined subheadings within the broader anorak, windbreaker, and similar article classification.
The subcategories within 6202.40.65 distinguish between garments intended for women and girls, reflecting the common practice in customs classifications to bifurcate items based on gender and age group. This distinction is crucial for accurate reporting and compliance, ensuring that the correct statistical data is captured and that applicable duties or regulations are applied accordingly.
