6210.20.70.00 - Having an outer surface impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with rubber or plastics material which completely obscures the underlying fabric 🖩

This HTS category, 6210.20.70.00, specifically addresses other garments, of the type described in heading 6201, that are made up of fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906, or 5907. The defining characteristic for classification within this subcategory is that the outer surface of the fabric must be impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with rubber or plastics material. Crucially, this rubber or plastics application must completely obscure the underlying fabric, rendering it not visible from the exterior.

This distinction is important when compared to its sibling category, 6210.20.90, which covers "Other" garments of this type. While both fall under the broader umbrella of other garments of heading 6201 and are constructed from specific textile fabrics, 6210.20.70.00 is reserved for those where the rubber or plastics treatment is total and completely conceals the base textile. Sibling categories at this level represent alternative classifications for goods that do not meet the specific criteria of the current node.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 6210.20.70.00 relies solely on meeting the explicit criteria of being an "other garment, of the type described in heading 6201" made from the specified fabrics, with a completely obscuring rubber or plastic outer surface treatment. Practical application will involve verifying the material composition and the extent of the lamination or coating.
