6204.69.01.05 - Insulated, for cold weather protection (659)

This HTS classification, **6204.69.01.05**, specifically covers insulated bib and brace overalls designed for cold weather protection, crafted from textile materials other than those of man-made fibers. These garments are intended for recreational performance, providing significant thermal insulation. The "bib and brace" construction signifies trousers with an attached bib extending to the chest and held up by straps over the shoulders, a design optimized for active use in low temperatures.

The distinction from sibling categories lies in the material composition and specific garment type. While other categories at this level might include garments of natural fibers or different constructions of trousers, this sub-heading is exclusively for insulated bib and brace overalls made from artificial fibers. The "recreational performance outerwear" qualifier further narrows the scope to garments designed for demanding outdoor activities where warmth and protection are paramount.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level is determined by the presence of insulation for cold weather protection, the bib and brace overall design, and the fact that they are made of artificial fibers. Items that do not meet all these criteria, such as non-insulated overalls, overalls of different designs, or those made from other fiber types, would fall under different HTS codes.
