About HS Code 620230
This HS code covers women's and girls' outerwear like overcoats, raincoats, and anoraks, specifically made from woven cotton fabrics. The 'not knitted or crocheted' distinction is crucial, differentiating these from knitwear. Cotton coats are valued for their natural feel, breathability, and versatility, often treated for water resistance in raincoats or styled for fashion. Trade in these items is influenced by seasonal fashion cycles, weather patterns, and consumer demand for durable, comfortable outerwear. Major apparel brands and retailers are key importers, sourcing from countries with strong cotton textile manufacturing and garment assembly capabilities. The market sees both classic, timeless designs and trend-driven pieces, with sustainability in cotton sourcing becoming increasingly important.
