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, underwear, pajamas, etc.) as well as accessories such as socks and gloves. Goods of this chapter must be made by knitting or crocheting, not by weaving. Knitted fabrics have characteristics such as elasticity and breathability, and are widely used in underwear, sportswear, etc. This chapter is distinguished from Chapter 62 (non-knitted garments), and the method of manufacture must first be determined for classification. Heading 6108 includes knitted or crocheted women's panties, briefs, knickers, pajamas, pajama bottoms, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles. These goods are worn directly against the body and are usually made of cotton, man-made fibers, silk, etc. Goods under this heading are further subdivided by material, such as of cotton, of man-made fibers, of other textile materials, etc. Note that if they are corsets, brassieres, etc., they are classified under other headings (such as 6212). Code 610822 is a six-digit subheading: the first 2 digits '61' represent Chapter 61 (knitted or crocheted apparel and clothing accessories); digits 3-4 '08' represent heading 6108 (knitted or crocheted women's panties, pajamas, etc.); digits 5-6 '22' represent subheading 610822, specifically women's panties and briefs of man-made fibers. Among these, the 5th digit '2' indicates the material is man-made fibers, and the 6th digit '2' further limits it to panties and briefs. Therefore, this code precisely describes knitted women's panties of man-made fibers. The goods are knitted women's panties of man-made fibers, which fall within the scope of Chapter 61 knitted garments and are women's panties, so they are classified under heading 6108. At the subheading level, because the material is man-made fibers and the article is panties, they are classified under 610822. If of cotton, they would be classified under 610821; if of other textile materials, under 610829. If woven, they would be classified under Chapter 62.

🎯 Classification Logic
The core basis for classification is: 1. The goods are knitted or crocheted (Chapter 61); 2. They are women's panties (heading 6108); 3. The material is man-made fibers (subheading 610822). The Import and Export Tariff and notes must be consulted to ensure compliance with the heading text.

Classification must be determined based on fiber composition content. 610829 Knitted women's panties of other textile materials: The material is silk, wool or other non-cotton, non-man-made fiber materials, whereas 610822 specifically refers to man-made fibers. 620822 Woven women's panties of man-made fibers: The weaving method is woven, classified under Chapter 62, whereas 610822 is knitted. 610832 Knitted women's pajamas of man-made fibers: The style is pajamas, whereas 610822 is panties; the two have different uses. Is it indeed knitted or crocheted? Does it belong to women's panties? Is the material man-made fibers? Is it confused with pajamas? Are the brand, composition, etc. declared accurately?
