What HS 6202.40 covers

This HS code covers women's and girls' woven outerwear, such as overcoats, raincoats, and anoraks, made from man-made fibers like polyester, nylon, or acrylic. The 'not knitted or crocheted' aspect is critical, distinguishing these from knitwear. These garments are highly popular due to the functional properties of synthetic fibers, including water resistance, windproofing, durability, and often lighter weight, making them ideal for performance wear and protection from the elements. Trade is driven by global sportswear brands, outdoor apparel companies, and mass-market retailers, sourcing from countries with advanced synthetic textile production and garment manufacturing. The market is characterized by innovation in fabric technology and a strong emphasis on functional design.

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).
