Heading 6211 covers track suits, ski-suits, swimwear and other garments that are not classified in another chapter 62 heading. The heading splits first by garment type: swimwear in 6211.11 and 6211.12, ski-suits in 6211.20, and all other garments in 6211.32 through 6211.49. Each group then splits by gender, fiber content, and whether the item is recreational performance outerwear or other apparel.
