About HS Code 621020
This specific HS code covers men's or boys' overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), and similar articles, which are not knitted or crocheted, and are made from very specific technical fabrics. These fabrics fall under headings 5602 (felt), 5603 (nonwovens), 5903 (textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered with plastics), 5906 (rubberized textile fabrics), or 5907 (other impregnated, coated, covered textile fabrics). This category is crucial for trade in high-performance outerwear, protective gear, and specialized functional clothing. Importers are often markets with demand for durable, weather-resistant, or industrial-grade garments, such as the US, Canada, and European nations. Exporters are typically countries with advanced textile technology and garment manufacturing, like China, Vietnam, and certain European producers. The precise identification of the fabric's composition and treatment is paramount for correct classification.
