HS Code for Women's cotton coat
The classification of a women's cotton coat under HS code 6202.30 is determined by its design as an outer garment intended for protection against the elements and its woven construction. Chapter 62 applies to apparel that is not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6202 specifically includes overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, and wind-cheaters. The subheading 6202.30 is designated for these types of garments when they are made of cotton. For a garment to be classified here, it must generally be worn over other clothing and extend below the waist. The classification process involves analyzing the outer shell's fiber content; if cotton is the predominant fiber by weight and the garment is not knitted, 6202.30 is the correct designation under the Harmonized System's hierarchical structure.

Another misclassification is 6102.20, which is used for cotton coats that are knitted or crocheted rather than woven.
