Classification of men's synthetic coat under HS 6201.40

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.

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).
