6211.20.15 - Water resistant
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category encompasses ski-suits that are specifically designated as "water resistant." This designation implies a level of protection against moisture penetration, often achieved through fabric treatments or specialized material construction, without necessarily being fully waterproof. The garments classified here are intended for use in cold weather activities where protection from light precipitation or snow is a primary functional requirement.
While the parent category "Ski-suits" broadly covers ensembles designed for skiing, this specific subcategory distinguishes itself by the "water resistant" characteristic. Ski-suits that are fully waterproof, or those with no specific water-resistance feature, would fall under different classifications. It is important to note that the degree of water resistance and the specific tests used for its determination can be crucial for correct classification.
Within this water-resistant ski-suit category, further distinctions are made based on the intended wearer. The subcategories "Men's or boys'" and "Women's or girls'" allow for the classification of these garments according to gender and age group, facilitating more granular statistical tracking and tariff application.
