Coats; men's or boys', overcoats, rain-coats, car-coats, capes, cloaks and similar, of textile materials (other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton or man-made fibres), other than those of heading no. 6203 (not knitted or crocheted)

Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 620190 when importing or exporting men's or boys' overcoats and similar garments made from textile materials like polyester or nylon, excluding wool and cotton. For example, a shipment of polyester raincoats would fall under this code.
This code is specifically for overcoats and similar articles that are not knitted or crocheted, distinguishing it from HS-6 6203, which covers knitted or crocheted items. If you have a shipment of wind-jackets made from synthetic fibers, 620190 is the right choice.
When classifying products under this heading, consider the material composition. If your overcoat is made from man-made fibers, it fits here, while those made from wool or cotton should be classified under different headings.
For clarity, this HS-6 line includes various styles such as capes and cloaks, but excludes items specifically designed for women or those made from fine animal hair. Always check the material to ensure proper classification.
