HS code for Men's ski jackets: 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 ski jackets under HS 6210.20
Classification under HS code 6210.20 is reserved for men's or boys' garments, such as ski jackets and anoraks, that are made from specific types of treated fabrics. These fabrics are defined in headings 56.02, 56.03, 59.03, 59.06, or 59.07. Most commonly, this involves woven fabrics that have been impregnated, coated, covered, or laminated with plastics (like PVC or polyurethane) or rubber. The distinction here is the functional nature of the fabric itself; if the coating is visible to the naked eye or significantly alters the fabric's character, the garment moves from the general category of 6201 to this specialized category of 6210. This classification takes precedence because the material's treatment is a more specific characteristic than the garment's style. For ski jackets, this often applies to high-performance technical gear where the outer shell has a distinct laminate layer for extreme waterproofing. The garment must be for men or boys and must not be knitted or crocheted. The presence of the coating is the primary driver for this classification, overriding the standard fiber-based classification found in 6201.

Codes often confused with 6210.20
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 6201.40. Importers often default to 6201.40 for all synthetic ski jackets, but if the fabric has a visible coating or lamination, 6210.20 is legally required. Additionally, if the garment is knitted rather than woven, it might be confused with 6113.00, which covers knitted garments made of coated fabrics. Always check the fabric construction and the visibility of the coating before selecting the code.

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).
