6211.39.60.70 - Jackets and jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6201 (734)

This HTS classification pertains to jackets and jacket-type garments specifically excluded from heading 6201, manufactured from textile materials other than cotton, man-made fibers, wool, or fine animal hair. To fall under this code, the garments must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This category encompasses a range of outerwear designed in a jacket style, often featuring a full front opening and a collar.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings requires careful attention to the specific garment type and material composition. For instance, sibling categories such as coveralls, jumpsuits, washsuits, and track suits represent distinct garment constructions and functionalities. While shirts excluded from heading 6205 and vests are also at this level, they refer to different types of apparel. The defining characteristic for 6211.39.60.70 is the "jacket-type" nature of the garment and its significant silk content, setting it apart from other apparel items.

As a leaf node, this HTS code does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this category relies on a precise determination that the garment is of a jacket-type, is not otherwise classified under heading 6201, and meets the stringent 70% silk or silk waste by weight requirement for men's or boys' garments made of "other textile materials." Examples could include tailored silk jackets for men or boys that do not fit the specific definitions of other outerwear categories.
