Classification of men's raincoat under HS 6201.40
Men's raincoats made of man-made fibers are classified under HS code 6201.40. This classification is part of Chapter 62, which covers woven (not knitted or crocheted) apparel. Heading 6201 includes a variety of heavy outer garments such as overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, and anoraks. Subheading 40 is specifically for those garments where man-made fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or polyamide, are the predominant material by weight. These garments are designed for protection against the elements, often featuring water-repellent finishes or dense weaves to block wind. The classification process involves verifying that the garment is woven and that the fiber content is primarily synthetic or artificial. If the fabric has been coated, covered, or laminated with plastics (such as PVC or polyurethane) in a way that the coating can be seen with the naked eye, the garment might instead fall under heading 6210. However, for standard woven raincoats where the textile character remains dominant, 6201.40 is the correct designation. This code is used by customs to track the trade of synthetic outerwear and to apply relevant tariffs, which may be influenced by trade preference programs or specific regional trade agreements.

Codes often confused with 6201.40
Common mistake. A common misclassification is 3926.20, which is for raincoats made of plastic sheeting (like PVC) that are not textile-based. Another is 6210.20, for garments made of fabrics laminated or coated with plastics where the coating is visible. If the man-made fiber fabric has a visible coating, 6210 is more appropriate than 6201. Additionally, knitted raincoats fall under 6101.30. Confusion also occurs with 6201.30 if the garment is a cotton/polyester blend where cotton actually predominates by weight.

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).
