6211.33.90.42 - Designed for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories or contaminated areas (640) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6211.33.90.42, specifically covers other garments for men or boys, constructed from man-made fibers, which are not shirts under heading 6205. The defining characteristic of this category is its intended use in specific, controlled environments. These garments are designed for application in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, or other areas where contamination control is paramount. This includes items like specialized smocks, coveralls, or gowns that provide a barrier against potential contaminants.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 6211.33.90.44 ("Other"), which would encompass similar man-made fiber garments for men or boys that do not have the specific designated use in medical, scientific, or contaminated environments. While both fall under "Other garments, men's or boys': Of man-made fibers: Other: Shirts excluded from heading 6205," the crucial differentiator here is the explicit functional purpose related to contamination control.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6211.33.90.42 hinges directly on meeting the criteria of being a man-made fiber garment for men or boys, excluded from heading 6205, and designed for use in hospitals, clinics, laboratories, or contaminated areas. Practical examples might include disposable lab coats made of non-woven synthetic materials, or reusable coveralls intended for use in cleanroom environments.
