HS Code for Men's synthetic knit coat

Men's synthetic knit coats are classified under HS code 6101.30. This classification is situated within Chapter 61, which encompasses all apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Heading 6101 is specifically designated for men's or boys' overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, wind-cheaters, and wind-jackets. The subheading 6101.30 is the specific category for these garments when they are manufactured from man-made fibers, which includes both synthetic fibers (like polyester and nylon) and artificial fibers (like rayon). The classification is determined by the garment's function as heavy outerwear and its construction as a knit fabric. This distinguishes it from lighter jackets or woven garments. In the context of international trade, this code is used to monitor the flow of synthetic performance wear and casual outerwear, which often utilize knitted synthetic fabrics for their stretch and moisture-wicking properties.

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is HS code 6201.30, which applies to the same types of coats but made from woven fabrics. Another common error is using HS code 6103.33, which is for men's knitted jackets or blazers; the distinction lies in the fact that 6101 items are designed to be worn over other clothing for protection against weather. Additionally, if the garment is made of cotton, it must be classified under 6101.20. Importers sometimes also confuse 6101.30 with 6102.30, which is the equivalent code for women's or girls' synthetic knit coats.
