A men's puffer jacket in polyester or polyamide fabric falls under 6201 40 (women's: 6202 40). The CN code depends on weight: 10 up to 1 kg, 90 above.
Where it sits in the nomenclature
- Chapter 62: “Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted”
- Heading
6201: “Men's or boys' overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), wind-cheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles, other than those of heading 6203” - HS subheading
6201 40: “Of man-made fibres” - CN code
6201 40 10: “Of a weight, per garment, not exceeding 1 kg” - CN code
6201 40 90: “Of a weight, per garment, exceeding 1 kg”
What decides the code
- Woven → chapter 62; men's → 6201, women's → 6202. If it cannot be told apart, it is classified as women's.
- Man-made fibres → 40.
- Weight per garment: up to 1 kg → 6201 40 10; over 1 kg → 6201 40 90.
- TARIC then separates parkas from other articles: the length and cut of the garment matter.

The 8-digit codes are those of the EU Combined Nomenclature and the descriptions are the official texts in force; the first 6 digits are shared by more than 200 countries and economies (Harmonized System). The exact code depends on your actual item: the declarant remains responsible for the declared code.
