Chapter 61 covers knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories, including knitted or crocheted men's and women's garments such as coats, suits, ensembles, shirts, underwear, pajamas, etc. This chapter does not include knitted or crocheted brassieres, girdles, corsets, suspenders, garters, etc. (classified under 6212), nor does it include leather apparel (classified under 4203) or apparel of plastics/rubber (classified under Chapter 39 or 40). Goods of this chapter are generally elastic, breathable, and made by knitting processes. Heading 6103 covers men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear), knitted or crocheted. Ensembles refer to two- or three-piece sets for informal occasions, such as a jacket and trousers, or a jacket, trousers, and vest. This heading is subdivided by fiber material, such as wool, cotton, synthetic fibers, other textile materials, etc. Code 610329 is a 6-digit HS code. The first 2 digits '61' represent Chapter 61: Knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories. The 3rd-4th digits '03' represent heading 6103: Men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts, knitted or crocheted. The 5th-6th digits '29' represent subheading 610329: Men's or boys' ensembles of other textile materials, knitted or crocheted. Here '2' indicates the subheading level, and '9' indicates other textile materials. Overall meaning: Knitted men's ensembles made of textile materials other than wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers (such as silk, linen, regenerated fibers, etc.). The product is a knitted men's ensemble, and the material is other textile materials (not wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers). Therefore, it is classified under 610329, rather than 610311 (of wool), 610312 (of cotton), 610313 (of synthetic fibers), or 610319 (men's suits of other textile materials). At the same time, the difference between ensembles and suits lies in style and use; ensembles are more casual and typically not part of formal suits.

🎯 Classification Logic
Core classification basis: 1) Weaving method must be knitted or crocheted; 2) Garment is for men; 3) It is an ensemble, i.e., a two- or three-piece informal set; 4) Material is textile materials other than wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers. According to the Import and Export Tariff and notes, an ensemble refers to a jacket and trousers, or a jacket, trousers, and vest, with matching styles and fabrics. If it does not meet the ensemble definition, it may be classified as separate garments. 610311 Men's or boys' suits of wool, knitted or crocheted: Material is wool, and it is a suit (formal style), not an ensemble. 610312 Men's or boys' ensembles of cotton, knitted or crocheted: Material is cotton, while 610329 is other textile materials. 610319 Men's or boys' suits of other textile materials, knitted or crocheted: Also of other textile materials, but it is a suit, not an ensemble, with a more formal style. 610323 Men's or boys' ensembles of synthetic fibers, knitted or crocheted: Material is synthetic fibers, while 610329 is other textile materials. 620329 Men's or boys' ensembles of other textile materials (woven): Weaving method is woven, classified under Chapter 62, not knitted. Is it knitted or crocheted? Is it for men? Is it an ensemble (two- or three-piece set)? Does the fiber composition exclude wool, cotton, and synthetic fibers? Is it confused with adjacent codes (such as suits)?

❓ FAQ
How to determine if a set of clothing is an 'ensemble'? An ensemble refers to a two- or three-piece set for informal occasions, typically including a jacket and trousers, or a jacket, trousers, and vest. The fabrics and styles must match, and the jacket and trousers should be declared together. Compared to suits, ensembles are more casual, do not require a tie, and come in various styles. If the fiber compositions of the jacket and trousers in a set are different, how should it be classified? According to the General Rules for Classification, if the fiber compositions of the garments in a set are different, the subheading should be determined by the predominant component (the fiber with the greatest weight). However, note that if the garments are packaged separately or declared individually, they cannot be classified as a set and should be classified separately. What is the difference between 610329 and 610319? Both are knitted men's garments of other textile materials, but 610319 is a suit, and 610329 is an ensemble. Suits are typically formal sets, with a relatively fixed style; ensembles are for informal occasions and are more casual. Classification should be based on the style, use, and commercial practice. How to check the import tariff rate for 610329? You can check through the General Administration of Customs website, China International Trade Single Window, or the Import and Export Tariff. Tariff rates vary by country, trade agreement, origin, etc. It is recommended to use official databases, enter the HS code and country of origin to query MFN rates, agreement rates, etc. How should fiber composition be filled in during declaration? List the names and percentage contents of each fiber in detail, such as '55% linen, 45% viscose'. Do not write only 'other textile materials', as this may lead to customs requiring supplementation or penalties for inaccurate declaration. If multiple fibers are present, arrange them in descending order of content. If the set is knitted but includes a jacket and shorts, can it be classified under 610329? No. Ensembles typically refer to a jacket and trousers, or a jacket, trousers, and vest. If shorts are included, it may be considered another type of set or classified separately.
