Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 620240 when importing or exporting women's or girls' coats made from man-made fibers, such as polyester or nylon. For example, a shipment of raincoats for women made from synthetic materials falls under this code.
This code specifically covers overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, and similar articles that are not knitted or crocheted. It's important to distinguish this from HS-6 620241, which covers similar items made from wool.
When classifying your products, remember that HS-6 620240 is limited to man-made fibers. If your product is made from natural fibers, you will need to consider other codes under the same heading.
For any coats that are designed for outdoor use, such as anoraks or wind-cheaters, this code applies as long as they are made from synthetic materials. Ensure your product descriptions are clear to avoid misclassification.
