Anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles (including padded, sleeveless jackets) imported as parts of suits
Analysis
HTS 6211.20.04 covers anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers and similar articles (including padded, sleeveless jackets) imported as parts of suits under heading 6211 (track suits, ski-suits and swimwear; other garments). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 4 ten-digit suffixes, reported in dozens and kilograms.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from 4.4% to 28.6%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 6211.20.68 (trousers and breeches imported as parts of ski-suits: other), at 28.6%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 27.9 percentage points.
The general duty rate is 0.7% of the customs value, which is at the low end of the rates in chapter 62 (7th percentile of 352 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $70 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 60%, 85.7 times the general rate.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 3152 (Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing), an industry of 3,430 US establishments employing 47,582 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
