6204.12.00.10 - Jackets imported as parts of suits (335)

This HTS classification, 6204.12.00.10, specifically covers jackets that are imported as integral components of women's or girls' suits. These jackets are designed to be worn in conjunction with other suit pieces, such as skirts, trousers, or waistcoats, to form a cohesive ensemble. The classification is limited to suits constructed from cotton or cotton man-made fibers, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 62 for non-knitted or crocheted apparel.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 6204.12.00.20 pertains to skirts and divided skirts that are part of suits, and 6204.12.00.30 covers trousers, breeches, and shorts intended as suit components, this node is exclusively for the jacket portion of such ensembles. Similarly, 6204.12.00.40 is reserved for waistcoats that form part of a suit. Therefore, the defining characteristic here is the item's role as the jacket component within a cotton suit.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. The scope is precisely defined as jackets that are imported as parts of suits made from cotton. This means that any jacket imported as a standalone item, or as part of a suit made from materials other than cotton, would fall under a different HTS classification. Importers should ensure the intended use and material composition are accurately reflected to apply this specific code.
