6211.42.05.03 - Containing 15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage and of which down comprises 35 percent or more weight; containing 10 percent or more by weight of down

This HTS classification covers specific types of women's or girls' recreational performance outerwear, characterized by their substantial down and waterfowl plumage content. The key criteria for classification here are that the garment must contain 15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage, with down comprising at least 35 percent of that total. Additionally, a condition of containing 10 percent or more by weight of down must also be met. These garments are designed for active outdoor pursuits where insulation against cold is a primary functional requirement.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6211.42.05.07, which also falls under "Recreational performance outerwear" for women's or girls' cotton garments but is specifically designated for items "Other, insulated for cold weather protection." The distinction lies in the precise material composition requirements for down and waterfowl plumage outlined in this particular subcategory, making it a more narrowly defined subset of insulated outerwear.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6211.42.05.03 relies solely on meeting the specified weight percentages of down and waterfowl plumage, in addition to fulfilling the broader criteria of being women's or girls' recreational performance outerwear made of cotton. Examples might include insulated down vests, jackets, or parkas designed for activities like hiking, skiing, or other outdoor sports where high-loft insulation is paramount.
