What decides the code
A windbreaker is a lightweight outerwear jacket classified in heading 6201 for men's or boys' and heading 6202 for women's or girls' when made of man-made fibers.
- Gender decides the heading: men's or boys' windbreakers fall in heading 6201, women's or girls' in heading 6202.
- Fiber content decides the subheading: nylon and other man-made fiber shells classify under 6201.40.75.11 or 6202.40.75.11.
- Construction as an anorak, windbreaker or similar outerwear article places the garment in the anorak and windbreaker subheadings of these headings.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a men's nylon windbreaker in heading 6203 is wrong because 6203 covers men's suits, trousers and similar garments, not overcoats and windbreakers.
- Classifying a women's nylon windbreaker in heading 6204 is wrong because 6204 covers women's suits, dresses and similar garments, not outerwear jackets.
- Using heading 6210 for a nylon windbreaker is wrong because 6210 covers garments of felt or coated fabrics, not plain woven nylon shells.
