HS Code for Men's raincoats
HS code 6210.20 is designated for men's or boys' outerwear specifically designed to provide protection against weather, including raincoats, overcoats, car-coats, and anoraks. The defining characteristic for classification here is the fabric type: the garment must be made of felt, nonwovens, or fabrics that are impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated (referencing headings 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906, or 5907). If a raincoat is made of standard woven polyester without a functional coating or internal lamination, it would not fall under this code. This classification ensures that garments with functional weather-resistant layers are grouped together, regardless of the underlying textile fiber, provided the coating is visible to the naked eye or significantly alters the fabric's properties.
Products Included
- Rubberized raincoats for men
- PVC-coated capes and cloaks
- Laminated anoraks and ski-jackets
- Coated trench coats for weather protection
- Waterproof parkas made of impregnated nonwovens
Common Misclassification
This code is often confused with 6201.13 (standard woven polyester overcoats) or 3926.20 (garments made of pure plastic sheeting). If the raincoat is made of plastic sheets (like a cheap emergency poncho) without a textile backing, it belongs in Chapter 39. If the fabric is not coated or laminated, it falls back to the general outerwear codes in heading 6201.
