6211.49.03.80 - Jackets and jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6202 (735)

This HTS classification, 6211.49.03.80, specifically covers women's or girls' jackets and jacket-type garments that are not knitted or crocheted and are not classified under heading 6202. These garments are characterized by their outerwear function, providing protection from the elements or serving as a decorative layer. Crucially, this category applies to garments made from textile materials other than cotton, man-made fibers, wool, fine animal hair, or silk and silk waste when those specific materials have their own distinct subheadings.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. For instance, while other subheadings within 6211.49.03 cover items like coveralls, track suits, blouses, and jumpers, this particular code is reserved for distinct jacket-type garments. The exclusion from heading 6202 signifies that these are not typically considered general-purpose overcoats or raincoats but rather more specialized outerwear. The emphasis here is on the garment's form as a jacket and its exclusion from more specific categories for other types of "other garments."

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within 6211.49.03.80. Therefore, classification hinges on the precise interpretation of "jackets and jacket-type garments" and ensuring they meet the material requirements of "other textile materials" when specific fiber content categories are not applicable. This would include items such as blazers, casual jackets, windbreakers, and similar apparel that do not fit into more narrowly defined categories within the women's or girls' "other garments" section of the HTS.
