6210.30.70.00 - Having an outer surface impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with rubber or plastics material which completely obscures the underlying fabric

This HTS classification, 6210.30.70.00, pertains to made-up articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted, specifically those crafted from fabrics falling under headings 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906, or 5907. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the outer surface of the fabric must be impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with rubber or plastics in such a way that it completely obscures the underlying fabric. This implies a substantial and opaque barrier formed by the rubber or plastic material.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 6210.30.90 (Other), lies in the specific treatment of the fabric's outer surface. While both are "other" garments not specifically enumerated elsewhere within the broader heading, 6210.30.70.00 mandates a complete obscuring of the base fabric by rubber or plastics. This excludes garments where the rubber or plastic coating is minimal, transparent, or does not entirely cover the underlying textile material.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 6210.30.70.00. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the precise interpretation of "outer surface impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with rubber or plastics material which completely obscures the underlying fabric." Examples that would fall here include certain types of raincoats, protective workwear, or outdoor apparel where a fully opaque rubber or plastic layer is integral to the garment's construction and function, effectively making the underlying textile non-visible from the exterior.
