6210.30.50.20 - Recreational performance outerwear (635)

This HTS classification, 6210.30.50.20, specifically identifies recreational performance outerwear. These garments are designed for active pursuits and are constructed from fabrics falling under headings 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906, or 5907. Examples within this category include high-performance anoraks, windbreakers, and similar jackets engineered for activities such as hiking, skiing, or running, emphasizing features like water resistance, breathability, and durability.

This specific subheading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 6210.30.50.29, by encompassing only the recreational performance outerwear explicitly defined as such, often indicated by specific numbering references like (635) in some tariff schedules. The sibling category is a catch-all for "Other" garments under the same preceding headings, meaning it would include items not specifically designated for recreational performance. The distinction lies in the intended use and inherent performance characteristics of the outerwear.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions within this subheading will therefore hinge on meeting the specific criteria for recreational performance outerwear, as opposed to general-purpose or less specialized garments that might fall under the "Other" sibling category. The focus remains on garments whose design and material composition are demonstrably geared towards athletic or outdoor recreational activities.
