6210.40.29 - Other

This HTS classification, 6210.40.29, covers "Other" men's or boys' garments made from specific non-woven or coated fabrics, excluding those with an outer surface completely obscured by rubber or plastics. These garments are designed for recreational performance wear and fall under the broader category of made-up articles of textiles, specifically those derived from fabrics classified under headings 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906, or 5907. The intent is to capture a range of recreational outerwear that doesn't fit into more specific sub-classifications.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its sibling, 6210.40.28, which specifically addresses garments where the outer surface is impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with rubber or plastics to such an extent that the underlying fabric is entirely concealed. Classification under 6210.40.29 is appropriate for garments that might have some degree of coating or treatment but do not meet the complete obscuration requirement of the preceding category, or where the obscuring material is not rubber or plastics.

This category serves as a residual for men's and boys' recreational performance outerwear made from the specified textiles. The subcategories further refine the classification based on the fiber content of the garment. The first subdivision addresses garments with a fiber content of 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, while the second, "Other," encompasses all remaining garments within this general classification that do not meet the silk-related fiber content threshold.
