6211.39.80.70 - Jackets and jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6201 (834)

This HTS category, 6211.39.80.70, specifically classifies men's or boys' garments that are not tracksuits, ski-suits, or swimwear, and are not otherwise excluded by specific headings within Chapter 62, particularly heading 6201. These garments are crafted from textile materials other than those explicitly defined in preceding subcategories. The "jackets and jacket-type garments" designation indicates outerwear characterized by a front opening, typically with a collar and sleeves, intended for warmth or protection, but distinct from more specialized items like shirts or vests.

To differentiate from its siblings, this classification captures garments that do not fit the descriptions of coveralls, jumpsuits, washsuits, sunsuits, or one-piece playsuits (6211.39.80.10 and 6211.39.80.20), nor are they tracksuits (6211.39.80.50) or vests (6211.39.80.60). The key distinction lies in the garment's overall construction and primary function. For instance, while a tracksuit shirt might have a similar material composition, it is specifically designed as part of a coordinated set for athletic or leisure wear. Similarly, a vest is sleeveless and lacks the full coverage typically associated with a jacket.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies on the specific details of the garment itself and its exclusion from other, more narrowly defined categories within the men's and boys' "other garments" section. Importers and customs brokers should carefully examine the construction, design, and intended use of the apparel to ensure it accurately falls under the broad definition of "jackets and jacket-type garments" not covered by heading 6201, and that it does not meet the criteria for any of the sibling classifications.
