HS code for Women's raincoats: 6210.30
Garments, overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets) and similar articles, women's or girls', of the fabrics of heading no. 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907 (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of women's raincoats under HS 6210.30
HS code 6210.30 is specifically designated for women's or girls' outerwear, including overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, and cloaks, constructed from fabrics specified in headings 56.02, 56.03, 59.03, 59.06, or 59.07. These fabrics are characterized by being nonwoven, felt-based, or treated with coatings such as PVC, polyurethane, or rubber. For a garment to fall under this code, the coating must be visible to the naked eye or significantly alter the fabric's physical properties, typically providing water resistance or specialized protection against the elements. This classification is essential for identifying weather-resistant apparel that utilizes technical textile layers rather than standard woven wool or cotton. The inclusion of 'similar articles' in the description allows for modern variations like anoraks and wind-cheaters, provided they meet the fabric requirements. The distinction is vital for customs as it separates high-performance technical outerwear from standard fashion garments, which may carry different duty rates based on their protective capabilities.

Codes often confused with 6210.30
Common mistake. This code is frequently confused with 6202.11 through 6202.99, which cover standard overcoats and wind-cheaters. The key difference is the fabric; 6202 is for standard woven fabrics, while 6210.30 requires the specific treated or nonwoven fabrics mentioned. It is also confused with 3926.20 if the raincoat is made of pure plastic sheeting (like a cheap emergency poncho) rather than a textile-backed plastic fabric.

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).
