Overview
This HTS classification, 6202.90.39.00, specifically covers women's or girls' recreational performance outerwear such as anoraks, ski jackets, windbreakers, and similar articles that are not knitted or crocheted. The defining characteristic of this category is its material composition: the garments must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. These are typically designed for active outdoor pursuits, emphasizing features like waterproofing, breathability, and insulation.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6202.90.49, which covers "Other" recreational performance outerwear not meeting the specific silk content requirement. Therefore, the crucial differentiating factor for this 6202.90.39.00 classification is the high proportion of silk or silk waste in its construction. Garments that do not meet this 70% silk threshold, even if they are otherwise similar in design and intended use, would fall under the "Other" category.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code is determined solely by the garment's nature as recreational performance outerwear, its suitability for women or girls, its cut and style (anorak, windbreaker, etc.), and the predominant fiber content of 70% or more silk or silk waste.
