Chapter 61 covers knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories, including knitted or crocheted men's and women's garments (such as coats, suits, shirts, dresses, skirts, trousers, etc.) as well as babies' garments, tracksuits, gloves, socks and other accessories. This chapter does not include knitted or crocheted brassieres, girdles, corsets, suspenders, garters, etc. (classified under 6212), nor does it include leather apparel (Chapter 42) or plastic apparel (Chapter 39). The core characteristic is that the fabric is made by knitting or crocheting. Heading 6104 covers 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. Dresses include women's dresses and skirt-pants. Garments under this heading must be for women or girls and must be knitted or crocheted. Note the distinction from 6102 (knitted women's coats) and 6106 (knitted women's blouses). Code 610443 consists of 6 digits: the first 2 digits "61" represent Chapter 61, i.e., knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories; digits 3-4 "04" represent heading 6104, i.e., women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts, knitted or crocheted; digits 5-6 "43" represent subheading 610443, specifically women's or girls' dresses of man-made fibres, knitted or crocheted. The 5th digit "4" indicates man-made fibres, and the 6th digit "3" indicates dresses. Therefore, 610443 specifically refers to knitted or crocheted dresses of man-made fibres. This product is a knitted dress of man-made fibres. It is classified under Chapter 61 because of the knitting process, under heading 6104 because it is a women's dress, and under subheading 610443 because of the man-made fibre material. If it were woven, it would be classified under 6204; if it were of cotton, it would be classified under 610442; if it were of other textile materials, it would be classified under 610449. Therefore, material and weaving method are the key distinguishing points.

How to check the import tariff rate for 610443? You can check the MFN rate, general rate, VAT rate and consumption tax, etc. by entering HS code 610443 on the official website of the General Administration of Customs, China International Trade Single Window, or third-party query platforms. Note that tariff rates may be adjusted with policy changes, and the latest published rates should be used as the standard. How to distinguish between knitted dresses of man-made fibres and woven dresses of man-made fibres? The key is the weaving process: knitted dresses are formed by interlooping yarns and have better elasticity; woven dresses are formed by interlacing warp and weft yarns and have a tighter structure. This can be confirmed by observing the fabric texture or checking the production process sheet. If a dress contains 50% cotton and 50% polyester, which code should it be classified under? According to General Interpretative Rule 3(b), it should be classified according to the material that predominates. If the two materials are in equal proportions, it shall be classified under the heading that occurs last in numerical order, i.e., man-made fibres (610443). However, note that if cotton content is higher, it should be classified under 610442. Are brand and article number mandatory when declaring? Yes, brand and article number are important components of the declaration elements and help customs confirm product information. If there is no brand, declare "no brand"; the article number should be filled in truthfully. How should a dress with a decorative belt be classified? If the belt is declared together with the dress and forms a whole, it should be classified together with the dress. If the belt is declared separately, it should be classified separately. What is the difference between 610443 and 610444? 610443 is knitted dresses of synthetic fibres, and 610444 is knitted dresses of artificial fibres. Synthetic fibres include polyester and nylon; artificial fibres include viscose and acetate. They should be distinguished based on the specific material composition.

At the same time, for cross-border e-commerce exports, note that the HS code of the destination country may differ, and it is recommended to check the destination country's tariff schedule in advance.
