Women's Water-Resistant Downhill Ski Jacket from Japan

This women's ski jacket is made from water-resistant nylon fabric with synthetic insulation, featuring a full front zipper, multiple pockets, and adjustable hood, designed for alpine skiing. It falls under HTS 6211.20.15.65 as a water-resistant component of women's ski-suits, identifiable by its texture and appearance for skiing but classified as 'other' since it's sold individually rather than as a full ensemble. Chapter notes specify ski ensembles or overalls, but individual water-resistant outer garments for women qualify here.

Import Tips

• Verify water resistance via ASTM D751 or ISO 811 testing standards to confirm classification under the water-resistant subheading

• Provide lab reports on fabric composition and construction to avoid reclassification as non-ski garments under 6204

• Ensure garment passes left-over-right closure test for women's classification if ambiguous cut
