HTS heading 6201 is a broad product category for men's or boys' outerwear made from textile materials, including overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, ski jackets, windbreakers, and similar garments. It can also include padded or sleeveless jackets. The heading excludes garments classified in heading 6203, so the garment's construction and intended use must be reviewed rather than relying only on its marketing name.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the garment's essential characteristics and then follow the subheadings under 6201. The tariff schedule commonly separates products by factors such as fiber or material, whether the garment is knitted or crocheted versus not knitted, and the specific garment type or construction. Check the garment's fiber breakdown, shell and lining materials, insulation, design, and relevant statistical provisions. Classification can depend on technical details, so a customs broker or classification specialist may be needed for borderline products.
What to check
- Identify the garment type from its construction and function, not just its product name; compare it with the heading and subheading descriptions.
- Confirm whether the garment is knitted or crocheted or made from woven or other non-knitted fabric, and document the shell, lining, and insulation fibers.
- Check whether special construction—such as padding, sleeveless design, a hood, ski features, or windproof styling—affects the applicable subheading.
- Read every level of the HTSUS hierarchy under 6201, including statistical suffixes, and use the garment's fiber percentages and physical samples to support the selection.
- Keep product specifications, fabric test results, supplier descriptions, and classification notes; obtain broker or ruling assistance when the garment could fit more than one category.

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.
