HS Code for Women's wool coat
HS code 6202.20 covers women's or girls' overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, and similar articles made of wool or fine animal hair. These garments are characterized by their intended use as outer layers designed to provide protection against the weather, typically worn over other clothing. Heading 6202 is distinct from 6204; while 6204 includes jackets and blazers, 6202 is reserved for heavier "over-garments." The material requirement for 6202.20 is that the garment must be composed primarily of wool or fine animal hair, which includes fibers from the alpaca, llama, vicuna, or cashmere goat. The construction must be woven, as knitted outer garments fall under Chapter 61. Proper classification requires distinguishing between a "jacket" and a "coat," which often depends on the length of the garment and its stylistic features intended for outdoor protection.

Another error is using 6102.10, which is for knitted or crocheted wool coats.
