Classification of women's cotton knit coat under HS 6102.20

Women's cotton knit coats are classified under HS code 6102.20, which encompasses overcoats, car-coats, capes, anoraks, and similar articles. This classification is specific to garments made of cotton that are knitted or crocheted. The primary function of items in this category is to provide protection against the weather, typically worn over other clothing. Unlike jackets classified under 6104, these articles are generally longer or designed with specific protective features like wind-resistance or heavy insulation. The determination of this code relies on the garment's length, the presence of a lining, and the overall weight of the knit fabric. If the garment is intended for indoor wear or lacks the protective characteristics of an overcoat, it may be excluded from this heading. The General Rules of Interpretation require that the garment be evaluated for its 'outerwear' status. For instance, a heavy knitted cotton garment that extends to mid-thigh and features a heavy lining or weather-resistant treatment is a classic example of a 6102.20 item. The cotton content must be the predominant textile by weight. If the garment is a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers, and the synthetic fibers weigh more, it would move to 6102.30. Proper documentation of the fiber weight and the garment's physical dimensions is essential for customs clearance.

Codes often confused with 6102.20

Common mistake. A frequent mistake is classifying these items under HS code 6104.32, which is for women's cotton knit jackets. The distinction is based on length and function; coats (6102) are designed to be worn over all other clothing for weather protection, whereas jackets (6104) are often part of an outfit. Another misclassification occurs with HS code 6202.20, which covers similar coats that are woven rather than knitted. Finally, lightweight cardigans are often wrongly placed here instead of under 6110.20.

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).
