Chapter 61 covers knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories, including knitted outerwear, suits, dresses, shirts, underwear, etc. Goods of this chapter must be made by knitting or crocheting, not by weaving. The chapter is subdivided by garment type and gender, such as 6101 men's overcoats and 6102 women's overcoats. Knitted garments typically have elastic and soft characteristics, and classification requires close attention to the method of manufacture, style, and material. Heading 6102 specifically covers women's or girls' overcoats, car coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets), windbreakers, windcheaters and similar articles, knitted or crocheted. It does not include the corresponding men's garments of 6101, nor does it include women's suits, dresses, etc. of 6104. This heading is further subdivided by material, such as wool, cotton, man-made fibers, etc. Code 610290 is a 6-digit subheading: the first 2 digits "61" represent Chapter 61 (knitted or crocheted apparel); digits 3-4 "02" represent heading 6102 (knitted women's overcoats, car coats, capes, etc.); digits 5-6 "90" represent the subheading "of other textile materials." Therefore, this code refers to knitted women's overcoats made of textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, man-made fibers, and other specifically named materials. Common materials such as silk, flax, regenerated fibers, etc. may fall under this subheading. The goods are knitted women's overcoats, and the material is not among the specifically named materials such as wool, cotton, or man-made fibers, therefore classified under 610290. If they were woven women's overcoats, they would be classified under 6202; if they were knitted men's overcoats, under 6101; if they were knitted women's suits, under 6104. Classification requires satisfying four conditions simultaneously: knitted, women's, overcoat style, and other textile materials.

🎯 Classification Logic
The core basis for classification is: 1) The method of manufacture must be knitting or crocheting; 2) Gender is women's; 3) Style is overcoat, car coat, cape, or similar articles; 4) Material is not among the specifically named materials such as wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or man-made fibers. If the material is a blend of multiple fibers, classify according to the predominant component; if the predominant component is other textile materials, classify under 610290. Reference should also be made to the chapter notes and subheading notes of the Import and Export Tariff. 610210 Knitted women's wool overcoat: Material is wool or fine animal hair, whereas 610290 is other textile materials. If wool is the predominant component in a blend, classify under 610210. 610220 Knitted women's cotton overcoat: Material is cotton, whereas 610290 is non-cotton materials. If cotton content exceeds 50%, typically classified under 610220. 610230 Knitted women's man-made fiber overcoat: Material is man-made fibers such as polyester, nylon, etc. If man-made fibers are the predominant component, classify under 610230. 620290 Woven women's overcoat (other textile materials): Method of manufacture is weaving, whereas 610290 is knitted. The key difference lies in the manufacturing process. 610190 Knitted men's overcoat (other textile materials): Gender is men's, whereas 610290 is women's. Gender should be determined based on style and design. Confirm the product is knitted or crocheted Confirm the gender is women's Confirm the style is overcoat, car coat, or similar articles Confirm the material is not wool, cotton, or man-made fibers Check chapter notes and subheading notes for any special provisions
