6211.42.05.75 - Jackets and jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6202 (335)

This HTS classification covers women's or girls' recreational performance outerwear made of cotton, which are specifically excluded from heading 6202. These garments are designed for athletic or active pursuits, emphasizing functionality and performance characteristics such as breathability, moisture-wicking, or durability, beyond basic everyday wear. Examples include specialized windbreakers, light athletic jackets, or hooded tops intended for sports like running, hiking, or training.

It is important to distinguish these items from other "other garments" within the same subheadings. For instance, they are separate from coveralls, jumpsuits, and similar apparel, as well as specific items like washsuits or one-piece playsuits. Furthermore, this category does not include track suits or swimwear, nor does it encompass blouses, shirts, or shirt-blouses. The defining characteristic is their design as outer layers intended for recreational performance activities.

As a leaf node, HTS 6211.42.05.75 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies on ensuring the garment meets all the preceding criteria: it is an outer garment, designed for women or girls, made of cotton, and specifically intended for recreational performance use while being explicitly excluded from heading 6202. The tariff number is finalized at this level, reflecting a specific type of cotton recreational performance outerwear for women and girls.
