HS Code for Men's synthetic coat
HS code 6201.40 covers a broad range of men's or boys' woven outerwear made from man-made fibers. This includes overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, and wind-cheaters. The classification is determined by the garment's construction (woven, not knitted) and its primary function as protection against the weather. Man-made fibers such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic are the required material for this subheading. According to the Explanatory Notes to Heading 6201, these garments are typically worn over other clothing and are designed to provide warmth or water resistance. It is important to distinguish these from "suits" or "jackets" classified under heading 6203, which are generally lighter and part of a coordinated outfit rather than standalone protective outerwear. The length of the garment and the presence of features like hoods, heavy linings, or weather-resistant coatings are key indicators for classification under 6201.40.
