Classification of women's synthetic coat under HS 6202.40
The classification of a women's synthetic coat under HS code 6202.40 is determined by the garment's construction, intended user, and material composition. This code falls under Chapter 62, which is reserved for apparel and clothing accessories that are woven, not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6202 specifically covers women's or girls' overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, wind-cheaters, and wind-jackets. The subheading 40 is applied when the primary material consists of man-made fibres, which include both synthetic polymers like polyester and artificial fibres like viscose. To be classified here, the garment must be an outer garment designed to be worn over other clothing for protection against the weather. The distinction between a coat and a jacket is often based on length and function; coats are typically longer and provide more coverage. If the garment is made of woven man-made fabric and is designed for women or girls as heavy outerwear, 6202.40 is the correct designation according to the General Rules of Interpretation.

Codes often confused with 6202.40
Common mistake. This code is frequently confused with HS code 6102.30, which covers similar outerwear that is knitted or crocheted rather than woven. Another common error is using 6204.33, which is for jackets and blazers; the distinction lies in the fact that 6202.40 is for heavier protective outerwear. Additionally, if the coat is made of cotton, it must be classified under 6202.30 instead of 6202.40.

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).
