HS Code for Boys' jacket

A boys' jacket made of woven \"other\" textile materials is classified under HS code 620339. This classification applies to garments such as blazers and sports jackets that are not knitted or crocheted. The term \"other textile materials\" refers to fibers that are not cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers; common examples include silk, linen, or ramie. Under the Explanatory Notes for heading 6203, jackets are defined as garments designed to cover the upper part of the body, usually with a full front opening and sleeves. They do not extend below the mid-thigh area. The distinction between a jacket and an overcoat (heading 6201) is crucial, as overcoats are designed for protection against the weather and are typically longer and heavier. For classification in 620339, the jacket must be the primary garment and not part of a suit or ensemble set, unless it is being classified as an individual component. The construction of these jackets often includes a lining and internal padding or stiffening, which differentiates them from simpler garments like windbreakers or track jackets. If the jacket is made of a blend of fibers, the classification is determined by the fiber that predominates by weight. If no single fiber predominates, the garment is classified under the heading that occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration, per GRI 3(c).

Common Misclassification

Common misclassifications occur with 620332 (cotton jackets) and 620333 (synthetic jackets). Importers must ensure the fiber content is accurately tested. Another common error is using 6201, which is reserved for overcoats, car coats, and wind-cheaters that provide significant weather protection and are generally longer than a standard blazer.
