HS Code for Women's wool anorak

A women's wool anorak is classified under HS code 6102.10 because it meets the criteria for a knitted or crocheted outer garment made of wool or fine animal hair. This heading includes heavy-duty weather-resistant garments like anoraks, wind-cheaters, and car-coats. The use of wool or fine animal hair (such as alpaca, cashmere, or mohair) is the defining characteristic that separates this code from 6102.30 (man-made fibres) or 6102.20 (cotton). To qualify for this classification, the wool component must generally constitute the greatest percentage by weight of the textile materials used in the garment. The knitted construction is also a prerequisite; if the garment were made of woven wool fabric, it would be moved to Chapter 62. These garments are typically designed to provide warmth and are characterized by their knit structure, which offers more flexibility and breathability than woven wool coats. The classification also requires the garment to be for women or girls, as men's wool anoraks fall under 6101.20.

Common Misclassification

This code is often confused with HS code 6202.20, which covers woven wool anoraks and overcoats. It is also frequently mixed up with HS code 6104.31, which is for wool jackets that do not have the specific characteristics of an overcoat or anorak. Additionally, if the garment is made of synthetic fibres that mimic the look of wool, it must be classified under 6102.30 instead.
