6211.20.04 - Anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles (including padded, sleeveless jackets) imported as parts of suits

This HTS category, 6211.20.04, specifically classifies anoraks, ski-jackets, windbreakers, and similar garments when imported as integral components of suits. This includes padded and sleeveless jackets that are designed to be worn as part of a coordinated set for activities like skiing or general outdoor wear. The critical defining factor for inclusion here is that these garments are presented for classification as part of a suit ensemble, not as individual pieces.

Unlike the sibling category 6211.20.08, which covers "Other" garments within the ski-suit classification, this subcategory focuses on a specific type of apparel intended for use as part of a suit. Therefore, the distinction lies in the presentation and intended use as a paired or coordinated set for specific activities, rather than standalone items.

The subcategories within 6211.20.04 further refine classification based on the gender and age of the intended wearer. These subdivisions typically distinguish between garments designed for "Men's or boys'" and "Women's or girls'," reflecting standard practice in apparel classification to account for variations in sizing, styling, and cut appropriate for each demographic.
