6210.30.50.10 - Overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks and similar garments (635) 🖩

This HTS category encompasses a range of outer garments specifically designed for weather protection and general wear, such as overcoats, carcoats, capes, and cloaks. These garments are characterized by their construction from fabrics falling under headings 5602 (nonwovens), 5603 (nonwovens), 5903 (textile fabrics coated, covered or laminated with plastics), 5906 (rubberized textile fabrics), or 5907 (textile fabrics otherwise treated for printing, painting, etc.). The defining feature is their fabrication from these specific technical textile materials, rather than woven or knitted fabrics.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, "Anoraks (including ski-jackets), wind breakers and similar articles," by focusing on more formal or traditional outerwear styles such as overcoats and cloaks, rather than athletic or casual wind-resistant garments. While both might offer weather protection, the intended use and design aesthetics typically differ. This category is for garments like substantial overcoats or elegant cloaks made from treated or specialized textile fabrics.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within this specific code (6210.30.50.10) relies on the precise material composition (man-made fibers) and the garment type as described, falling under the broader category of "Other garments, of the type described in heading 6202."
