HTSUS heading 6210 is a broad product category for garments made from certain specialized fabrics. These fabrics are identified by other headings: 5602 (felt), 5603 (nonwovens), 5903 (textile fabrics coated, covered, or laminated with plastics), 5906 (rubberized textile fabrics), and 5907 (textile fabrics treated or otherwise specially covered). The heading can include garments such as protective, coated, or nonwoven apparel, depending on the garment’s construction and the fabric used.
The 4-digit heading is only the starting point. To select an 8-digit HTSUS subheading, first confirm that the garment belongs in heading 6210, then use the tariff structure to narrow it by relevant features—often the fabric’s fiber content or material, and the garment’s type, such as coats, jackets, trousers, or other apparel. Review the garment as imported, including its shell fabric, coatings, lining, construction, and intended use; classification can require customs-broker or ruling advice when the facts are unclear.
What to check
- Confirm the outer fabric is classified in heading 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906, or 5907 before using heading 6210; do not rely only on marketing terms such as “protective” or “waterproof.”
- Identify the garment type and read the heading 6210 subheadings and statistical suffixes for the applicable material and construction distinctions.
- Check the fabric’s fiber content, coating or treatment, laminate structure, and whether the material is felt, nonwoven, rubberized, plastic-coated, or otherwise covered.
- Classify the finished garment as imported, considering panels, linings, reinforcements, closures, and whether any component changes the garment’s character.
- Verify the proposed 8-digit code against the current HTSUS, legal notes, classification rulings, and entry documentation; ask a customs broker or seek a binding ruling if competing provisions may apply.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
