HS Code for Jackets
Jackets are split between heading 6101/6102 (knit, men's/women's) and 6201/6202 (woven, men's/women's), with waterproof rubberized garments separated under 6113. The most cost-impactful decisions are construction (knit vs woven), primary fiber (wool, cotton, or man-made), and gender. Wool overcoats under 6201.20 / 6202.20 carry a compound rate (specific cents/kg plus an ad valorem percentage), while cotton lightweight jackets and ski jackets under 6201.90 / 6202.90 are typically around 4.2%.

How to Approach Classification for Jackets
Jacket classification starts with the construction method: knit or crocheted vs woven. Knit jackets fall under Chapter 61 (headings 6101 for men/boys and 6102 for women/girls). Woven jackets fall under Chapter 62 (headings 6201 for men/boys and 6202 for women/girls). Waterproof garments made from rubberized or coated fabrics of headings 5903, 5906, or 5907 (typically rain shells and ponchos) fall under heading 6113 regardless of gender split.
Within 6201 and 6202 (woven), the key fiber-based subheadings are: 6201.20 / 6202.20 for **wool**, 6201.90 / 6202.90 for **cotton and other** fibers (including man-made through statistical suffixes), and 6201.40 / 6202.40 specifically for some man-made-fiber breakouts. The wool heading carries a compound duty rate (cents per kilogram plus an ad valorem percentage).
A further split inside 6201.90 distinguishes ski-jackets and similar technical recreational outerwear (6201.90.49) from generic anoraks, windbreakers, and other outerwear (6201.90.69). Ski-jackets and lightweight recreational outerwear typically carry a 4.2% rate.
For knit jackets (6101.30 / 6102.30), the man-made-fiber subheading typically lands at 8.9%: covering polar fleeces, synthetic shells, and most performance soft-shells.
Waterproof rubberized rainwear under 6113.00.90 carries a 7.1% rate. The trick here is whether the fabric is *coated*, *rubberized*, or *laminated* per the technical definitions in headings 5903/5906/5907: if so, 6113 applies; if not, the jacket goes back to the knit (61) or woven (62) chapters.
Gender and age splits appear at the 10-digit statistical suffix level. Within 6101.30.20, for example, men's jackets use suffix.10 and boys' use.20.
Duty Rate Overview
Jacket duty rates depend heavily on construction and fiber. Wool woven overcoats under 6201.20 / 6202.20 carry compound rates (around 41¢/kg + 16.3%); cotton woven anoraks and ski-jackets under 6201.90 / 6202.90 are around 4.2%; man-made-fiber knit jackets under 6101.30 / 6102.30 are around 8.9%; and waterproof rainwear under 6113.00.90 is around 7.1%. Country-specific additional duties may apply on top of the base rate.
