6211.32.50.07 - Other, insulated for cold weather protection (359)

This HTS subcategory, 6211.32.50.07, covers "other" garments for men or boys, made of cotton, that are designed as recreational performance outerwear and fall under the broader classification of coveralls, jumpsuits, and similar apparel. The defining characteristic of this specific classification is their function as insulated garments intended for cold weather protection, as indicated by the "(359)" designation. These garments are designed to offer a higher level of thermal insulation compared to standard outerwear, making them suitable for activities in colder environments where heat retention is a primary concern.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6211.32.50.03. While both fall under recreational performance outerwear made of cotton and classified as coveralls or similar, 6211.32.50.03 specifically addresses garments with a significant percentage of down and waterfowl plumage filling. In contrast, 6211.32.50.07 is for cotton garments offering cold weather protection through insulation that does not meet the specific down and feather content requirements of the sibling category. This distinction hinges on the material composition and the specific type of insulation employed.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories under 6211.32.50.07. Therefore, classification within this code is final for cotton men's or boys' recreational performance outerwear, in the form of coveralls, jumpsuits, or similar apparel, that provides cold weather protection through insulation and does not meet the down and feather content criteria of its sibling. Practical classification will rely on confirming the garment's intended use, its cotton construction, and its insulating properties beyond what is specified for down-filled items.
