6202.90.49.11 - Subject to cotton restraints (335) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6202.90.49.11, specifically categorizes women's or girls' anoraks, windbreakers, and similar garments that are designed for recreational performance outerwear. These are not knitted or crocheted articles of apparel, and they fall under the broader category of "other textile materials" rather than specific natural fibers like wool or man-made fibers when those are subject to separate restraints. The "performance outerwear" designation implies garments constructed with features designed to enhance comfort and functionality during outdoor athletic or recreational activities, such as water resistance, breathability, or thermal insulation.

This particular subcategory is distinguished from its siblings by the specific trade restraints it is subject to. While 6202.90.49.21 covers similar performance outerwear under wool restraints, and 6202.90.49.31 pertains to those under man-made fiber restraints, 6202.90.49.11 applies to cotton-based recreational performance outerwear that is subject to cotton restraints, indicated by the parenthetical notation (335). The remaining sibling, 6202.90.49.61, covers similar items that are not subject to these specific fiber restraints.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 6202.90.49.11. Classification at this level is determined by the specific material composition (cotton subject to restraints), the garment type (anoraks, windbreakers, etc.), and its intended use as recreational performance outerwear. Importers should ensure accurate documentation regarding the fiber content and any applicable restraint quotas to ensure correct customs clearance.
