Classification of men's ski jacket under HS 6201.40

The classification of a men's ski jacket under HS code 6201.40 is determined by its construction, intended use, and material composition. This code specifically covers woven outer garments such as overcoats, car-coats, capes, and anoraks, including ski-jackets, designed for men or boys. The primary material must be man-made fibers, which include synthetic filaments like polyester or nylon, or artificial fibers like rayon. To fall under this specific subheading, the garment must be woven and not knitted or crocheted, as those are classified under Chapter 61. Furthermore, the garment must not be made of fabrics that have been impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics or rubber to the extent that they fall under heading 6210. The classification follows General Interpretative Rules (GRI) 1 and 6, focusing on the terms of the headings and subheadings. Ski jackets in this category are typically designed to provide protection against the weather, featuring insulation and water-resistant properties, but without the heavy industrial coating that would trigger a 6210 classification. They are characterized by their length, usually extending below the waist, and their functional features like hoods, wind-flaps, and specialized pockets.

Codes often confused with 6201.40

Common mistake. A frequent error is confusing 6201.40 with HS code 6210.20. While both can cover ski jackets, 6210.20 is reserved for garments made of fabrics that are visibly coated or laminated with plastics or rubber (headings 5903, 5906, or 5907). If the coating is not visible to the naked eye, the jacket remains in 6201.40. Another common mistake is 6101.30, which is only for knitted or crocheted garments. Woven items must never be classified in Chapter 61.

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).
