HTS heading 6101 is a broad product category for men’s or boys’ knitted or crocheted outerwear. It covers items such as overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, ski-jackets, windbreakers, and similar garments. The heading is about both the wearer group and the garment’s construction: the article must be designed as outerwear and made by knitting or crocheting, rather than being woven. This category does not by itself identify the final duty rate or import code.
To reach a specific U.S. HTSUS 8-digit code, a merchant narrows the classification through the tariff’s subheadings. Important details include the garment’s type and principal fiber or textile material—for example, cotton, man-made fibers, or other textile materials. Review the garment’s actual fiber composition, construction, and design, then follow the current HTSUS provisions from heading 6101 to the applicable 6-digit and 8-digit subheading. The final code should be checked against the current tariff schedule and, when needed, confirmed with a customs broker or a binding ruling request.
What to check
- Confirm that the garment is knitted or crocheted. A similar-looking woven jacket generally belongs in a different HTSUS heading.
- Identify the garment’s intended classification and design: for example, whether it is an anorak, ski-jacket, windbreaker, overcoat, or another similar outerwear item. Product photos, specifications, and construction details can help.
- Use the complete fiber breakdown from the product’s bill of materials or label. Determine whether the relevant tariff branch is for cotton, man-made fibers, or other textile materials; do not classify solely from the marketing name.
- Do not stop at heading 6101. Trace the current HTSUS subheadings to the 8-digit level, and verify any additional U.S. statistical suffix or applicable trade measure separately before filing an entry.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
