Chapter 61 covers knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories, including knitted jackets, suits, dresses, shirts, underwear, etc. The core characteristic of goods in this chapter is that they are made by knitting or crocheting rather than weaving. Knitted fabrics have characteristics such as elasticity and breathability, and their apparel classification requires consideration of the method of manufacture, style, and material. Heading 6104 includes women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear), knitted or crocheted. All apparel under this heading is for women or girls and is made by knitting or crocheting, excluding men's or boys' or woven apparel. The first 2 digits "61" represent Chapter 61: Knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories. The 3rd-4th digits "04" represent Heading 6104: Women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, etc., knitted or crocheted. The 5th-6th digits "19" represent Subheading 610419: Women's or girls' suits of other textile materials, knitted or crocheted. Among these, "1" indicates suits, and "9" indicates other textile materials (i.e., textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, synthetic fibers, and artificial fibers). The goods are women's knitted suits made of other textile materials (such as silk, flax, regenerated fibers, etc.), therefore classified under 610419. If woven, they would be classified under 6204; if made of synthetic fibers, under 610413; if made of cotton, under 610412; if made of wool or fine animal hair, under 610411; if made of artificial fibers, under 610414.
