What decides the code
A puffer jacket is a padded outer garment classified in heading 6201 for men or boys and heading 6202 for women or girls, both of man-made fibers.
- Gender decides the heading: men's styles fall in 6201 and women's styles fall in 6202.
- The filling decides the line: down filling takes 6201.40.55.00 or 6202.40.55.00, polyester filling takes 6201.40.75.11 or 6202.40.75.11.
- The shell is man-made fiber, so the article stays in the man-made fiber subheadings of 6201 and 6202.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a puffer jacket in heading 6203 or 6204 is wrong because those headings cover trousers, suits and other garments, not padded outerwear.
- Using 6201.40.75.11 or 6202.40.75.11 for a down filled jacket is wrong because the down lines 6201.40.55.00 and 6202.40.55.00 apply instead.
- Putting a women's puffer jacket in 6201 is wrong because 6201 covers men's or boys' articles only.
