HS Code for Women's coat
HS code 620290 covers women's or girls' overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, and cloaks made from woven textile materials other than wool, cotton, or man-made fibers. This category captures outerwear made from specialty fibers like silk or linen. The classification excludes garments that fall under heading 6204 (suits, ensembles, jackets). The 'other' designation in 620290 ensures that outerwear made from less common fibers is properly accounted for in trade statistics. To be classified here, the garment must be intended for outdoor wear and provide protection against the weather. The construction must be woven, as knitted outerwear falls under heading 6102. The distinction between a coat and a jacket can sometimes be subjective, but generally, coats are longer and intended to be worn over other clothing. Heading 6202 specifically addresses these heavier outer garments. If a garment is made of a blend, the material that predominates by weight will typically dictate the classification. For instance, a coat made of 60% silk and 40% cotton would fall under 620290, whereas a 60% cotton blend would fall under 620230. Accurate fiber content labeling is therefore essential for correct HS code assignment. This code also excludes garments that have been heavily coated or laminated with plastics, which might move the classification to heading 6210.
