HS Code for Men's cotton jacket

Men's cotton jackets and blazers are classified under HS code 6203.32. This heading covers garments designed to cover the upper part of the body, which are typically worn over a shirt or sweater but are not considered overcoats or protective outerwear of heading 6201. These jackets are characterized by their tailored or semi-tailored construction and are made of woven cotton fabric. Under the Harmonized System, a jacket is defined as a garment that usually reaches the mid-thigh or shorter and has a full front opening with a fastening system. The classification 6203.32 is specific to cotton; if the jacket were made of wool or synthetic fibers, it would fall under different subheadings within 6203. The garment must be woven to remain in Chapter 62. This code is essential for distinguishing between formal or casual tailored jackets and heavier outerwear or knitted cardigans.

Common Misclassification

A common error is confusing 6203.32 with 6201.30. While both are cotton upper-body garments, 6201 is for overcoats and wind-breakers, whereas 6203 is for jackets and blazers. Another misclassification is 6103.32, which applies to knitted or crocheted cotton jackets. Importers also sometimes mistakenly use 6205.20 if the jacket is very lightweight and resembles a shirt, but the presence of a lining or a specific jacket-style cut requires classification under 6203.
