HS code for Men's synthetic anorak: 6101.30

Classification of men's synthetic anorak under HS 6101.30
HS code 6101.30 applies to men's or boys' overcoats, anoraks, and wind-jackets that are knitted or crocheted and made of man-made fibers. The fundamental distinction for this classification is the method of fabric construction. Unlike woven garments, knitted items are formed by interlocking loops of yarn, providing different stretch and breathability characteristics. Man-made fibers in this context typically refer to synthetic materials like polyester, acrylic, or nylon. Under the Harmonized System, Chapter 61 is dedicated exclusively to knitted or crocheted apparel. Therefore, even if a garment serves the same purpose as a woven anorak (e.g., wind protection), its construction as a knit fabric mandates its placement here. This code excludes garments that are part of a suit (which would fall under 6103) and focuses on individual outer-wear pieces designed for protection against the elements. The classification is governed by GRI 1, which looks at the heading text, and GRI 6, which looks at the subheading level. The garment must be designed for men or boys; similar items for women would fall under 6102.

Codes often confused with 6101.30
Common mistake. The primary misclassification occurs with HS code 6201.40, which is for woven anoraks. It is essential to perform a burn test or visual inspection to confirm the knit structure. Another error is using 6103.33, which is for jackets and blazers. Anoraks are classified in 6101 because they are considered 'outer-wear' (overcoats) rather than 'indoor' jackets or blazers. If the garment has a hood and is designed for weather protection, 6101 is usually the correct heading.

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).
