Men’s jackets are classified under HS 6201 (woven) or 6101 (knitted), women’s under 6202 or 6102. A cotton denim or twill jacket is 6201.30 (men’s) or 6202.30 (women’s); a quilted nylon or polyester jacket is 6201.40 or 6202.40. These are HS 2022 codes: rulings older than 2022 quote 6201.92 and 6201.93 for the same jackets.
Made in China, a men’s cotton denim or twill jacket pays 29.4% in all: the 9.4% base rate, 7.5% Section 301 duty and the 12.5% forced labor tariff. A men’s quilted jacket pays 47.7%.
