Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., garments made of woven fabric. This chapter includes overcoats, jackets, suits, shirts, underwear, etc., but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61). Goods of Chapter 62 are generally cut and sewn from woven fabric and have the characteristics of being crisp and resistant to deformation. Customs classification requires close attention to fabric weaving method, garment style, and use. Heading 6201 includes men's or boys' overcoats, car coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets), windcheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles, other than those of heading 6203. This heading mainly covers men's outerwear garments with cold-proof, windproof, and rainproof functions, usually with lining or padding, but similar garments that are knitted or crocheted are classified under heading 6101. Code 620193 is a 6-digit subheading. The first 2 digits "62" indicate Chapter 62 (garments and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted). Digits 3-4 "01" indicate heading 6201 (men's overcoats, car coats, capes, windcheaters, etc.). Digits 5-6 "93" indicate subheading 6201.93, specifically men's windcheaters and similar articles "of man-made fibres". The 5th digit "9" represents of man-made fibres, and the 6th digit "3" further limits it to windcheater-type garments. Therefore, the complete meaning of this code is: men's windcheaters of man-made fibres. This product is a men's windcheater of man-made fibres, belonging to non-knitted woven garments, with windproof function, conforming to the description of heading 6201. Since the fabric is man-made fibres, it is classified under subheading 6201.93. If it were knitted or crocheted, it should be classified under heading 6101; if of cotton, it would be classified under 6201.92; if it were a men's suit, it would be classified under 6203. Therefore, based on material and style, it is correctly classified under 620193.

🎯 Classification Logic
Core basis for classification: 1) Chapter 62 notes, not knitted or crocheted; 2) heading 6201 text, men's windcheaters and similar articles; 3) subheading 6201.93, of man-made fibres. It needs to be determined in conjunction with the Import and Export Tariff and the Explanatory Notes to the Customs Import and Export Tariff Commodities and Headings. Key review points include fabric weaving method (woven), gender (men's), function (windproof), and material (man-made fibres). 610193 Men's knitted windcheaters of man-made fibres: Knitted or crocheted, classified under Chapter 61; woven classified under Chapter 62. 620192 Men's windcheaters of cotton: Material is cotton, whereas 620193 is of man-made fibres. 620293 Women's windcheaters of man-made fibres: Gender is women's, classified under 6202. 620333 Men's jackets of man-made fibres: Jackets usually do not have windproof function, classified under 6203. Is the fabric woven or knitted? Is it for men? Does it have windproof function? Is the material man-made fibres? Does it have lining or padding?

❓ FAQ
How to determine whether a men's outerwear is a windcheater or a jacket? Windcheaters usually have windproof functions, such as windproof fabric, adjustable hem and cuffs, and a lightweight style; jackets focus more on design and do not necessarily emphasize windproofing. In customs classification, if the product has windproof characteristics and conforms to the description of heading 6201, it is classified under 6201; otherwise, it may be classified under 6203. What is the HS code for men's windcheaters of man-made fibres? The HS code for men's windcheaters of man-made fibres is 620193. Note that this code applies to non-knitted or non-crocheted woven garments; if knitted, it is classified under 610193. How to describe the material when declaring? The fabric composition and weaving method should be clearly stated, such as "100% polyester woven", avoiding merely writing "man-made fibres". Also indicate whether there is coating or lining, as these may affect classification. If the windcheater has padding, does the classification change? If the padding only serves a warming function, it is still classified under 6201; if the padding gives the garment the characteristics of a cold-weather garment, it may be classified under other subheadings of 6201. However, if it is down-filled, attention should be paid to whether it is classified under 6201.40. Is the HS code the same when exporting to different countries? The first 6 digits of the HS code are unified internationally, but countries may adjust the latter digits. It is recommended to check the destination country's customs tariff to confirm the specific code and tax rate. How to check the tax rate for this code? You can check by entering the code and destination on the website of the General Administration of Customs of China, the International Trade Single Window, or professional tariff query tools. Tax rates may change due to trade agreements, rules of origin, etc., and the latest published version shall prevail. How to declare the brand during customs declaration? The brand name must be declared truthfully; if there is no brand, fill in "none". If it is licensed production, a brand authorization letter must be provided. Incorrect declaration may lead to intellectual property disputes or customs penalties. Does this code apply to women's windcheaters? No. Women's windcheaters should be classified under 620293 (of man-made fibres). Classification requires distinguishing by gender: men's under 6201, women's under 6202.
