Chapter 61 covers knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories, including various knitted coats, suits, jackets, dresses, skirts, trousers, etc. It is distinguished from Chapter 62 non-knitted apparel, with the core difference being that the method of construction is knitting or crocheting. Goods in this chapter generally have characteristics such as elasticity, comfort, and casual style, and are a common category of apparel in international trade. Heading 6104 specifically includes women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts (other than swimwear), knitted or crocheted. Among these, jackets refer to garments covering the upper body, excluding knitted shirts similar to T-shirts (classified under 6109). The first 2 digits 61 = knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories; digits 3-4 04 = women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts (other than swimwear); digits 5-6 32 = women's or girls' jackets of cotton, knitted or crocheted. Note: 32 is a subheading indicating that the material is cotton and the goods are jackets, distinguishing them from women's apparel of other materials or styles under the same heading. The goods are women's or girls' jackets of cotton, knitted or crocheted, conforming to the scope of Chapter 61 knitted apparel. Heading 6104 covers women's or girls' jackets, and the material is cotton, so they are classified under 610432. They are not classified under 6109 (knitted T-shirts) because the style is not a T-shirt; they are not classified under 6206 (non-knitted women's or girls' jackets) because the method of construction is different.

Product name: The Chinese and English names of the declared goods should accurately reflect the product attributes, such as "women's or girls' jackets of cotton, knitted or crocheted."

Specifications: one size, long sleeve, round neck. Incorrectly classifying knitted women's or girls' jackets under 6109 (knitted T-shirts) because the style is not a T-shirt. False declaration of material composition, such as actually containing polyester but declaring pure cotton, affecting classification. Ignoring the "women's or girls'" gender element, incorrectly declaring as men's or boys' or unisex apparel.

Core basis for classification: 1) The method of construction must be knitting or crocheting; 2) The goods must be women's or girls' jackets, i.e., covering the upper body and not T-shirt style; 3) The material is cotton; if other fibers are contained, classification shall be based on the predominant material; 4) Reference must be made to the Import and Export Tariff and notes to ensure distinction from adjacent codes. 6109 Knitted T-shirts: 6109 covers knitted T-shirts, vests, etc., usually in short-sleeve, round-neck, close-fitting styles; while jackets under 6104 come in various styles, such as cardigan, long-sleeve, collared, etc., not basic T-shirt styles. 6206 Non-knitted women's or girls' jackets: 6206 covers non-knitted (woven) women's or girls' jackets, with a different method of construction; if the goods are knitted, they must be classified under Chapter 61. 6110 Knitted pullovers, cardigans: 6110 covers knitted pullovers, cardigans, vests, etc., usually referring to pullover or cardigan knitted tops; while jackets under 6104 are broader, including suit-type jackets, etc. 6106 Knitted women's or girls' blouses: 6106 covers knitted women's or girls' blouses, usually referring to collared, front-opening blouse styles; while jackets under 6104 may be collarless or of different styles. Is it knitted or crocheted? Is it a women's or girls' jacket? Is the material cotton? Is the style different from a T-shirt? Does it conflict with the description of adjacent codes?

T-shirts are usually basic styles with short sleeves, round neck, and close fit, classified under 6109; while jackets come in various styles, such as long sleeves, collared, cardigan, etc., classified under 6104.

If the jacket contains a cotton and polyester blend, how should it be classified? According to HS classification rules, classification shall be based on the predominant material (the one with the largest weight proportion). If cotton predominates, it is still classified under 610432; if polyester predominates, it is classified under 610433 (of synthetic fibers). Accurate component percentages must be provided at declaration. How should the brand be filled in at declaration? Declare the brand name truthfully; if there is no brand, fill in "no brand."
