About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This classification specifically covers bib and brace overalls designed for men or boys that are made of synthetic fibers and are intended for recreational performance outerwear. These garments are characterized by their insulated construction, providing protection against cold weather conditions. The "recreational performance outerwear" designation implies that these overalls are engineered for active use in cold environments, such as skiing, snowboarding, or other outdoor winter sports, and are not simply casual cold-weather wear.

While at the same granular level, other "Other" classifications within this chapter might capture different types of apparel or accessories. The key differentiator here is the combination of bib and brace style, synthetic fiber composition, insulated construction for cold weather protection, and their specific application as recreational performance outerwear. This means items like basic insulated trousers without the bib and brace feature, or overalls not intended for demanding outdoor performance, would fall under different HTS codes.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies on precisely meeting all the criteria: being bib and brace overalls, made from synthetic fibers, insulated for cold weather protection, and specifically classified as recreational performance outerwear. Importers must ensure their goods align with this precise description to ensure correct duty assessment and compliance.
