Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 620140 when importing or exporting men's or boys' overcoats made from man-made fibers, such as polyester or nylon. For example, a shipment of polyester raincoats for a retail store would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers overcoats, raincoats, car-coats, and similar outerwear made from synthetic materials. It's important to distinguish this from HS-6 620143, which includes similar items made from wool or animal fibers.
When classifying under this heading, ensure that the garments are not knitted or crocheted, as those would fall under different headings. For instance, a windbreaker made from nylon would qualify, while a knitted jacket would not.
If you're unsure about the material composition or the construction method of your garments, consult with a customs broker to confirm the correct classification and avoid potential delays.
