6211.39.07.70 - Jackets and jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6201 (734)

This HTS category, 6211.39.07.70, specifically classifies jackets and jacket-type garments for men or boys that are not covered under heading 6201. These garments are distinguished by their material composition, requiring them to contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This emphasis on silk content is a primary factor in their classification within this specific sub-heading.

Compared to its sibling categories, 6211.39.07.70 differs significantly. For instance, it excludes items like coveralls, jumpsuits, washsuits, and sunsuits (6211.39.07.10 and 6211.39.07.20), as well as shirts (6211.39.07.50) and vests (6211.39.07.60). While other garments in the 6211.39.07 range might be recreational performance outerwear, the defining characteristic here is the high silk content, which dictates their placement.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into 6211.39.07.70 relies on confirming that the garment in question is a jacket-type item intended for men or boys, is excluded from heading 6201, and is predominantly composed of silk or silk waste. Examples would include silk bomber jackets, silk blazers, or silk windbreakers not otherwise specified in preceding headings.
