HS code 6201.40 is the 6-digit subheading for coats, men's or boys', overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets) and similar articles, of man-made fibres, other than those of heading no. 6203 (not knitted or crocheted).

What HS 6201.40 covers
This category covers men's and boys' woven coats crafted from man-made fibers such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic. These garments are highly popular due to their excellent performance characteristics, including water resistance, windproofing, and often superior insulation, making them ideal for active wear, ski jackets, and everyday protective outerwear. They also tend to be more affordable and easier to care for than natural fiber alternatives. International trade is robust, with major manufacturing powerhouses like China, Vietnam, and Taiwan leading exports due to their advanced textile technology and production scale. Key importing nations include the United States, Germany, and Japan, where there is strong consumer demand for technical and functional apparel. Traders must focus on verifying technical specifications like waterproof ratings and breathability, understanding brand licensing agreements, and staying informed about potential anti-dumping duties or specific import regulations related to synthetic textiles.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
