HS code for Men's raincoats: 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 raincoats under HS 6210.20
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.

Codes often confused with 6210.20
Common mistake. 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.

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).
