6211.20.04.20 - Other (653)

This HTS classification, 6211.20.04.20, pertains to "Other" men's or boys' anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles, including padded or sleeveless jackets, when imported as parts of ski-suits. These garments are specifically excluded from the cotton category (6211.20.04.10) and are defined by their material composition. The key differentiator for this subcategory lies in the presence of down and waterfowl plumage.

To fall under this classification, the garments must contain 15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage, with down constituting 35 percent or more of that plumage. Additionally, they must contain at least 10 percent by weight of down in total. This emphasis on specific down content distinguishes these articles from other ski-suit components or outerwear that may use different insulating materials or lower percentages of down.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, precise classification relies heavily on accurate weight-based analysis of the down and waterfowl plumage content. Importers should be prepared to provide documentation substantiating these material percentages to ensure correct customs entry and avoid potential discrepancies.
