6202.40.65.11 - Women's (435)

This HTS code, 6202.40.65.11, specifically classifies women's anoraks, ski jackets, windbreakers, and similar outerwear articles that are not knitted or crocheted. These garments are characterized by their protective qualities against the elements, often featuring features such as hoods, water-resistant materials, and insulation. This subcategory falls under "other" articles of man-made fibers within the broader category of women's or girls' overcoats and similar outerwear.

Distinguishing this code from its sibling, 6202.40.65.21, is the explicit designation for "women's" apparel. The sibling code, conversely, covers "girls'" garments. While the styles and construction may be similar, the gender-specific tailoring and sizing are the primary differentiating factors at this level. Both codes, however, share the material composition requirement of being primarily made of man-made fibers and fall under the "other" classification for anoraks and similar articles within their parent categories.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 6202.40.65.11 is dependent on meeting all the preceding criteria: the article must be women's outerwear of the specified types, constructed from man-made fibers, and not fall under more specific subheadings within the "anoraks, windbreakers and similar articles" group. The presence of 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair is a critical factor that defines this specific code, distinguishing it from other "other" classifications within the same broader categories.
