A lightweight, water-repellent cotton jacket designed for hiking and outdoor recreation, featuring multiple pockets, adjustable hood, and reinforced elbows. It falls under HTS 6211.32.5075 as recreational performance outerwear for men, excluded from heading 6201 due to its performance features like weather resistance not typical of standard jackets. This classification applies to made-up cotton garments in Chapter 62, other than knitted or crocheted.

Import Tips

• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification; blends may shift to synthetic headings

• Include performance feature documentation (e.g

• water-repellency specs) to justify exclusion from 6201 and avoid reclassification

• Label as 'men's' based on left-over-right closure; ensure no pockets below waist to stay out of 6205/6206
