Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., woven garments. This chapter includes men's, women's, and children's overcoats, suits, shirts, skirts, trousers, etc., but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61) and special categories such as quilted garments and medical garments. Headings within the chapter are divided by garment type and gender, e.g., 6201 for men's overcoats, 6202 for women's overcoats. Heading 6201 includes men's or boys' overcoats, raincoats, car coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets), windcheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles, but excludes knitted or crocheted products (classified under Chapter 61). Under this heading, subheadings are further divided based on fabric material (wool, cotton, man-made fibres, etc.) and specific styles. First 2 digits 62: indicates Chapter 62, i.e., garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted. Digits 3-4 01: indicates heading 6201, specifically men's overcoats, car coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, windcheaters, etc. Digits 5-6 11: indicates subheading 6201.11, i.e., men's overcoats of wool or fine animal hair. The 5th digit 1 represents wool or fine animal hair, and the 6th digit 1 represents overcoats (as distinct from car coats, etc.). The complete code 620111 thus means men's overcoats of wool or fine animal hair. The product is a men's overcoat, with fabric of wool or fine animal hair, not knitted, thus classified under 6201.11. If women's, it would be 6202; if of man-made fibres, 6201.13; if of cotton, 6201.12. If knitted, it would be Chapter 61.
