Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., garments made of woven fabrics. This chapter includes men's, women's, and children's clothing, but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61) and garments for medical, protective, or other special purposes (such as heading 6210). Goods in this chapter are usually made from textile materials through cutting and sewing, and it is an important chapter for clothing products in international trade. Heading 6201 specifically covers men's or boys' overcoats, car coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets), windcheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles, but excludes knitted or crocheted products (classified under Chapter 61). Garments under this heading generally have cold-proof and windproof functions, but do not include garments completely covered with plastics, rubber, or similar coatings (classified under Chapter 39 or Chapter 40). The first 2 digits "62" represent Chapter 62: garments and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted. The 3rd-4th digits "01" represent heading 6201: men's or boys' overcoats, car coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets), windcheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles. The 5th-6th digits "99" represent subheading 620199: men's windcheaters of other textile materials. Among these, "99" is a residual subheading, indicating men's windcheaters made of textile materials other than those specifically named, such as silk, wool, cotton, synthetic fibers, etc. (e.g., linen, viscose, regenerated fibers, etc.). This product is a men's windcheater, made of other textile materials (not silk, not wool, not cotton, not synthetic fibers), and is not knitted or crocheted, so it is classified under 6201.99. If it were knitted or crocheted, it should be classified under Chapter 61; if made of synthetic fibers, it should be classified under 6201.93; if made of cotton, under 6201.92; if made of wool or fine animal hair, under 6201.91.
