Overview
This HTS classification, 6202.90.19.00, specifically covers women's or girls' outer garments that are similar to overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles, provided they contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. These are distinct from knitted or crocheted articles falling under Chapter 61.
Within the broader category of "Other" textile materials for women's or girls' outerwear (6202.90), this subheading differentiates itself by the high silk content, setting it apart from garments made of other textile materials. It is a specific classification for silk-rich outerwear, implying a certain level of quality, drape, and luxury associated with silk.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges directly on the explicit criteria: the garment type must be outerwear similar to the examples provided in heading 6202, and the material composition must meet the stringent 70% or more silk or silk waste threshold by weight. This ensures that premium silk outerwear is correctly identified for customs purposes.
