6211.39.15.70 - Jackets and jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6201 (834)

This HTS classification covers specific types of jackets and jacket-type garments designed for men and boys. Crucially, these items are explicitly excluded from the scope of heading 6201, which pertains to men's or boys' overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), wind-cheaters, wind-jackets and similar garments, whether or not lined. The garments classified under 6211.39.15.70 are generally characterized by their recreational performance attributes, fitting within the broader category of "recreational performance outwear."

To distinguish this category from its siblings, consider the specific exclusions and inclusions. For instance, while other subcategories at this level might cover coveralls, jumpsuits, washsuits, sunsuits, or shirts, 6211.39.15.70 is reserved for garments that are jacket-like but do not fall under the more general overcoat or anorak categories. The term "recreational performance outwear" suggests garments designed for athletic activities or outdoor leisure, often incorporating features like breathability, water resistance, or specific insulation, but are not strictly ski-jackets or wind-jackets covered elsewhere.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this category hinges on a careful assessment of the garment's physical characteristics, intended use, and comparison against the definitions of the excluded heading 6201. Typical examples might include specialized light jackets for hiking, cycling, or other active pursuits that do not meet the criteria for anoraks or overcoats. The "other" designation indicates that these are garments of other textile materials that do not fit into the more specific subheadings within this structure.
