HS code for Men's anoraks: 6210.20
Garments, overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets) and similar articles, men's or boys', of the fabrics of heading no. 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907 (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of men's anoraks under HS 6210.20
Men's anoraks are classified under HS code 6210.20 when they are made from specific types of treated or coated textile fabrics. Heading 6210 covers garments made of fabrics of heading 5602 (felt), 5603 (nonwovens), 5903 (textile fabrics laminated with plastics), 5906 (rubberized textile fabrics), or 5907 (textile fabrics otherwise impregnated). Subheading 6210.20 specifically identifies men's or boys' overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, and anoraks (including ski-jackets) made from these materials. The classification is driven by the nature of the fabric rather than just the style of the garment. For an anorak to fall under 6210.20, the coating or impregnation must be visible to the naked eye (otherwise than by a change of color). This usually applies to high-performance rainwear or heavy-duty windbreakers where the fabric has been bonded with a layer of polyurethane (PU), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or rubber to provide water resistance. If the garment is made of standard woven synthetic fibers without such a coating, it would be classified in heading 6201.

Codes often confused with 6210.20
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 6201.93, which covers men's anoraks and wind-cheaters made of synthetic fibers. The distinction lies entirely in the fabric treatment; if the coating is not visible, 6201 is correct, but if the coating is visible, 6210 must be used. Another common error is using 6101.30, which is for knitted or crocheted anoraks. Heading 6210 is strictly for garments that are not knitted or crocheted. Additionally, if the garment is made of pure plastic sheeting (not textile-backed), it would be classified in Chapter 39 (e.g., 3926.20) rather than as a textile garment in Chapter 62.

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).
