6211.32.90.07 - Other, insulated for cold weather protection (359) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6211.32.90.07, covers "Other, insulated for cold weather protection" garments for men or boys that are not knitted or crocheted, are made of cotton, and do not fall under the specific down and waterfowl plumage criteria of its sibling category. These garments are designed for thermal insulation and protection against cold weather, encompassing a broad range of apparel that doesn't fit into more narrowly defined categories within chapter 62. Examples might include insulated workwear, insulated jackets not primarily intended for athletic pursuits like skiing, or insulated overalls constructed from cotton.

The key distinction for this category lies in its residual nature for insulated cotton garments. Unlike its sibling 6211.32.90.03, which specifically addresses apparel with a significant down and waterfowl plumage content, this subcategory applies to other types of cotton-based insulation. This could involve synthetic fillings, quilted construction with thermal wadding, or other insulating materials that do not meet the down content requirements. Therefore, importers must carefully assess the insulating fill and its weight percentage to correctly classify these items.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, meaning that once a garment meets the criteria of being an "other garment" for men or boys, made of cotton, not knitted or crocheted, insulated for cold weather protection, and not containing the specific down and waterfowl plumage percentages outlined in the sibling category, it will be classified under 6211.32.90.07. Importers should be prepared to provide documentation demonstrating the cotton content and the nature of the insulation to customs authorities.
