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 accessories such as socks, gloves, and scarves. Goods of this chapter must be made by knitting or crocheting, not by weaving or interlacing. Knitted dresses are an important category of women's apparel within this chapter, further subdivided according to material. Heading 6104 covers 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. Dresses under this heading include various materials such as wool, cotton, synthetic fibers, artificial fibers, and other textile materials. Goods of this heading are women's or girls' garments and must be knitted or crocheted. Code 610449 is a 6-digit subheading. The first 2 digits "61" indicate Chapter 61 (knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories). Digits 3-4 "04" indicate heading 6104 (women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, etc., knitted or crocheted). Digits 5-6 "49" indicate subheading 610449, specifically "dresses of other textile materials, knitted or crocheted." The 5th digit "4" indicates the dress category, and the 6th digit "9" indicates other textile materials (i.e., materials not listed in previous subheadings, such as silk, flax, regenerated fibers, etc.). The goods are knitted dresses made of other textile materials (not common materials such as wool, cotton, synthetic fibers, or artificial fibers), and are therefore classified under 610449. If the material were synthetic fibers, they would be classified under 610443; artificial fibers under 610444; cotton under 610442; wool under 610441. This code specifically refers to other textile materials, such as silk, flax, metal fibers, etc.
