Jackets Classified Under HTS Headings 6114 and 6211
Jackets classified under headings 6114 (knitted or crocheted)
and 6211 (not knitted or crocheted) are garments that
do not meet the definition of either:
-
Suit-type jackets or blazers
(headings 6103/6104 if knitted, 6203/6204 if woven), or
-
Anoraks, ski-jackets, windbreakers, and similar weather-protective jackets
(headings 6101/6102 if knitted, 6201/6202 if woven)
They are typically classified here as "other garments"
because they fall outside the scope of the more specific jacket headings.
Common characteristics of jackets falling under 6114 or 6211
-
Do not fully cover the upper body — e.g., garments
that provide shoulder coverage but leave the belly or bust uncovered
(such as bolero jackets or shrugs)
-
Extend below the mid-thigh area — reaching beyond
the middle of the thighs, but are not overcoats,
car-coats, or capes (which would fall under 6101/6102/6201/6202)
-
Designed to be worn over another coat, jacket, or blazer
— i.e., an outer layer that isn't an anorak or overcoat
-
Are generally not designed primarily for weather protection
(lacking the typical features of anoraks and similar articles, such as
hoods, drawcords, elasticized cuffs, weatherproof shell fabric, or insulation)
-
Are generally not tailored suit-type jackets or blazers
-
Construction, length, and styling vary widely — these headings cover
a broad residual category
Examples include:
- Bolero jackets and shrugs (don't fully cover the upper body)
-
Smoking jackets and certain lounge jackets
(when not constructed as suit-type jackets)
- Cardigan-style jackets that don't qualify as suit-type jackets
-
Safari jackets and bush jackets
(often classified here when not suit-type)
- Long jackets extending below mid-thigh that aren't overcoats or anoraks
- Other jackets of unusual cut or construction that don't fit elsewhere in Chapter 61 or 62
