Heading 6210

Garments, made up of fabrics of heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907

76 declarable lines

Heading 6210 covers garments made up from fabrics of heading 5602 (felt), 5603 (nonwovens), 5903 or 5906 (textile fabrics impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber) or 5907. It is split first by fabric family: 6210.10 covers garments of felt or nonwoven fabrics, and 6210.20 through 6210.50 cover garments of coated or laminated woven fabrics, divided by whether they are the coat and jacket types of heading 6201 or 6202 or other garments, and then by gender. Lower subheadings turn on fiber content, whether the coating completely obscures the underlying fabric, and garment type.
