HTS code for jackets and coats (2026)
Most imported jackets and coats fall under heading 6201 (men's or boys') or 6202 (women's or girls'), with the specific 10-digit line determined by fiber content, construction, and garment type. A common line for woven man-made fiber anoraks and windbreakers for men is 6201.40.75.11, carrying a general rate of 27.7%. The single attribute that most often moves a jacket to a different line is the outer shell's chief fiber content, cotton at 9.4%, man-made fibers at 27.7%, or leather at 6%.
Knitted or crocheted construction shifts a garment from Chapter 62 to Chapter 61, and leather or composition leather construction moves it entirely to Chapter 42, each with its own rate structure.

What decides the line
The first question is whether the outer shell is made of leather or composition leather. If yes, the garment belongs in Chapter 42 under heading 4203.10, with a general rate of 6%, regardless of whether it is a coat, jacket, or anorak. The specific line then splits by gender (4203.10.40.30 for men's and boys', 4203.10.40.60 for women's, girls', and infants') or by anorak style (4203.10.40.10).
If the shell is a textile, the next question is construction: is the fabric knitted or crocheted? Knitted or crocheted garments fall in Chapter 61 (for example, 6101.30.20.10 for men's man-made fiber), while woven and other non-knit textiles fall in Chapter 62 (for example, 6201.40.75.11 for men's man-made fiber woven).
Within Chapters 61 and 62, fiber content controls the rate bracket. Cotton lines such as 6201.30.80.51 carry 9.4%. Man-made fiber lines such as 6201.40.75.11 and 6202.40.75.11 carry 27.7%. A knitted man-made fiber coat containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair falls to 6101.30.15.00 at 38.6 cents per kilogram plus 10%.
After fiber content, garment type separates overcoats and similar coats (6201.30.20 family) from anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles (6201.30.80 family), and a high down fill content (15 percent or more by weight of down and waterfowl plumage and of which down comprises 35 percent or more by weight, or 10 percent or more by weight of down) can shift a cotton coat to a lower rate line such as 6201.30.12.00 at 4.4%. Finally, gender and age (men's, boys', women's, girls') determine the statistical suffix.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a woven man-made fiber windbreaker under a cotton line such as 6201.30.80.51 at 9.4% when the chief fiber is polyester or nylon, which requires 6201.40.75.11 at 27.7%.
- Filing a knitted fleece jacket under Chapter 62 (for example, 6201.40.75.11) instead of the correct Chapter 61 line such as 6101.30.20.10, because knitted or crocheted construction always belongs in Chapter 61.
- Using a men's line such as 6201.40.75.11 for a women's garment instead of the correct women's line 6202.40.75.11; gender determines the chapter 62 heading and the statistical suffix.
- Omitting the Chapter 99 co-provision when the goods originate in China, goods under 6201.40.75.11 or 6202.40.75.11 require a separate 9903.88.15 line adding 7.5%, and leather goods under 4203.10.40.30 require a separate 9903.88.03 line adding 25%.
- Classifying a down-filled cotton overcoat under the standard cotton overcoat line 6201.30.20 at 9.4% rather than checking whether it meets the down-content threshold for 6201.30.12.00 at 4.4%.
Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for a men's polyester windbreaker?
A men's woven polyester windbreaker typically falls under 6201.40.75.11, covering men's anoraks (including ski jackets), windbreakers, and similar articles of man-made fibers. The general (column 1) rate is 27.7%. If the garment is knitted or crocheted, use 6101.30.20.10 instead, which carries a general rate of 28.2%.
What is the HTS code for a women's ski jacket?
Women's woven ski jackets and similar outerwear of man-made fibers are classified under 6202.40.75.11 at a general rate of 27.7%. Girls' garments of the same type use 6202.40.75.21 at the same rate. If the shell fabric is cotton, check the 6202 cotton family; if knitted, check Chapter 61 equivalents.
What is the HTS code for a leather jacket?
Leather jackets and coats fall under Chapter 42, heading 4203.10. Men's and boys' styles that are not anoraks use 4203.10.40.30; women's, girls', and infants' styles use 4203.10.40.60; anoraks of leather use 4203.10.40.10. The general rate for all three is 6%. Goods of reptile leather use 4203.10.20.00 at 4.7%.
What does the Chapter 99 provision 9903.88.15 mean for my jacket shipment from China?
When goods originate in China and the base classification carries the attached provision 9903.88.15, that heading must be reported as a separate line on the entry. It adds 7.5% on top of the general rate. For example, a men's man-made fiber windbreaker under 6201.40.75.11 at 27.7% would owe an additional 7.5% under 9903.88.15 if imported from China. Leather jackets under 4203.10.40.30 carry a different provision, 9903.88.03, which adds 25%.
Do free-trade-agreement countries pay a lower duty on imported jackets?
Yes. The special rate column shows Free for qualifying goods from AU, BH, CL, CO, IL, JO, KR, MA, OM, P, PA, PE, S, and SG on most textile jacket lines such as 6201.40.75.11 and 6202.40.75.11. Leather jacket lines under 4203.10.40 also show Free for those same countries plus D and R, with 4.8% for E. Eligibility depends on meeting the applicable rules of origin; confirm the current requirements in the HTSUS or with a licensed broker.
How do I know whether my jacket is an anorak or an overcoat for classification purposes?
Within Chapters 61 and 62, the HTSUS separates overcoats, carcoats, capes, and cloaks from anoraks (including ski jackets), windbreakers, and similar articles. Anoraks and windbreakers are typically pull-over or zip-front active outerwear designed for weather protection during activity, while overcoats and similar coats are generally full-length or structured garments. The distinction affects the statistical suffix and may affect the applicable rate. If the product sits on the border between the two types, confirm the classification in the current HTSUS or with a licensed broker.
