In plain English

This category includes knitted or crocheted outerwear for men and boys, such as overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, ski-jackets, and wind-jackets. These items are classified separately from other specific apparel types. The group is divided based on the material used: cotton, man-made fibers, or other textile materials not listed elsewhere in this section.

Chapter 61 classification notes

One of the most heavily traded chapters globally. Duty rates range from 12-32% depending on destination and fiber content. Rules of origin are critical — yarn-forward rule applies in many FTAs. Quota restrictions may apply.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

The knitted vs woven distinction (Chapter 61 vs 62) depends on the construction method, not appearance. Jersey fabric is knitted (Ch. 61). Cotton vs synthetic content changes the HS subheading.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
