HS Code for Women's synthetic knit coat

The classification of a women's synthetic knit coat under HS code 6102.30 is based on the garment's construction and material. Unlike woven garments, this code falls under Chapter 61, which is dedicated to articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Heading 6102 covers women's or girls' overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, wind-cheaters, and wind-jackets that are produced via knitting. The subheading 30 specifies that the garment is made of man-made fibres, which includes synthetic polymers like polyester and artificial fibres like rayon. These garments are designed to be worn as the outermost layer for protection against cold or wind. The distinction between a knitted coat and a knitted cardigan (heading 6110) is often determined by the weight of the fabric, the presence of a full front opening, and the garment's intended use as heavy outerwear. Because knitted fabrics offer different stretch and thermal properties, they are classified separately from woven coats to ensure proper tariff application.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification is HS code 6202.40, which is for woven coats. Importers must verify the fabric construction (knit vs. woven) before selecting the chapter. Another common error is using 6110.30, which covers sweaters and cardigans; coats in 6102.30 are generally heavier and designed for outdoor protection. Additionally, if the coat is made of wool, it must be classified under 6102.10.
