HS Code for Women's ski jacket

The classification of women's ski jackets under HS code 6202.40 applies to woven garments made of man-made fibers such as polyester or nylon. This code encompasses overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, and anoraks, including ski-jackets. To qualify for this code, the jacket must not be knitted and must be intended for women or girls. The distinction here is that the fabric is a standard man-made textile that has not been heavily coated or laminated with plastics or rubber in a way that changes its primary classification to heading 6210. Ski jackets are designed for protection against the elements, and their inclusion in heading 6202 reflects their status as heavy outer garments rather than light jackets or blazers. The '40' subheading specifically denotes the use of man-made fibers, which are the most common materials for modern technical outerwear due to their durability and moisture-wicking properties.

Common Misclassification

This code is frequently confused with 6210.30. The difference is the fabric treatment; if the fabric is coated with a visible layer of plastic or rubber (per heading 5903 or 5906), it must move to 6210.30. It is also sometimes confused with 6202.30, which is for cotton-based outer garments, or 6102.30, which covers knitted versions of these jackets.
