6211.43.10.03 - 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, 6211.43.10.03, specifically identifies women's or girls' garments, not knitted or crocheted, of man-made fibers, which are not coveralls, jumpsuits, or similar apparel, and are not insulated for cold weather protection. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this category is the composition of the garment. It must contain 15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage, with down comprising at least 35 percent of that plumage by weight. Furthermore, a separate, but related, criterion is that the garment must contain 10 percent or more by weight of down overall.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6211.43.10.07, is crucial. While both fall under "Other garments, women's or girls', of man-made fibers," the sibling category is designated for garments specifically insulated for cold weather protection. Therefore, garments classified under 6211.43.10.03, despite their significant down and waterfowl plumage content, are not primarily designed or marketed as cold-weather protective wear, and lack the specific insulation features that would place them in the other sibling category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories for this specific HTS code. The classification is finalized based on the material composition criteria outlined in the description. Examples of garments that would fall here include women's or girls' vests, light jackets, or certain types of activewear where the primary function is not extreme cold protection, but the specified down and waterfowl plumage content is met. The classification hinges on the precise weight percentages of down and waterfowl plumage relative to the total weight of the garment.
