6202.90.29.30 - Subject to man-made fiber restraints (635) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6202.90.29.30, pertains to women's or girls' overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, and similar outer garments that are not knitted or crocheted, specifically when these articles are subject to man-made fiber restraints, as indicated by restraint code (635). These garments are designed for outer wear and are distinct from items classified under heading 6204, which typically covers suits, ensembles, jackets, and trousers. The scope includes items such as anoraks and windbreakers, provided they fall within the broader definitions of the parent categories and are constructed from or contain a significant proportion of man-made fibers that are subject to specific trade regulations.

This category is differentiated from its siblings by the specific material content and its classification under trade restraints. Unlike 6202.90.29.10, which covers similar outer garments subject to cotton restraints (335), or 6202.90.29.20, which is for those under wool restraints (435), this sub-heading exclusively addresses articles where man-made fibers are the primary material concern for import/export control. It also stands apart from 6202.90.29.60, the "Other" category at this level, by its explicit linkage to the man-made fiber restraint regime.

As a leaf node, 6202.90.29.30 represents a definitive classification and does not subdivide further. Therefore, the focus for classification within this specific code is on accurately identifying women's or girls' outer garments that meet the physical and functional descriptions of the parent categories and are demonstrably subject to the man-made fiber restraints designated by code (635). Importers and exporters must ensure that the fiber content and applicable trade agreements are meticulously verified to ensure correct classification.
