Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., garments made of woven fabrics. This chapter includes overcoats, suits, jackets, dresses, shirts, pajamas, etc., but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61), as well as quilted articles and leather garments. The headings within the chapter are subdivided by garment type and gender, such as 6201 for men's overcoats and 6202 for women's overcoats. Heading 6202 covers women's overcoats, car coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets), windbreakers, windcheaters and similar articles, not knitted or crocheted. These garments are typically made of woven fabrics and are used for warmth or wind protection, excluding women's suits, dresses, etc. of heading 6204. The first 2 digits 62 represent Chapter 62 (non-knitted garments); digits 3-4, 02, represent heading 6202 (women's overcoats category); digits 5-6, 12, are the subheading, specifically women's overcoats of cotton. The 5th digit 1 indicates cotton, and the 6th digit 2 indicates women's overcoats. Therefore, 620212 refers to women's overcoats of cotton, distinguished from those of man-made fibres (620213), other textile materials (620219), etc. The product is a women's overcoat, not knitted, with cotton as the main material, therefore classified under 6202.12. If knitted, it would be classified under 6102; if men's, under 6201; if of man-made fibres, under 6202.13; if of cotton but a car coat or similar article, it would still be classified under 6202.12, as 6202.12 covers both overcoats and car coats.

🎯 Classification Logic
Core classification basis: 1) Weaving method must be woven (not knitted); 2) Gender is women's; 3) Garment type is overcoat, car coat, cape, etc.; 4) Main material is cotton. If the fabric is blended, according to the General Rules for HS classification, the subheading is determined by the textile material with the greatest weight. If cotton content is the highest, classify under 6202.12. 6102 Women's overcoats, knitted or crocheted: Different weaving method: 6102 is knitted or crocheted, 6202 is woven. 6201 Men's overcoats: Different gender: 6201 is men's, 6202 is women's. 6202.13 Women's overcoats of man-made fibres: Different material: 6202.13 is of man-made fibres, 6202.12 is of cotton. 6202.19 Women's overcoats of other textile materials: Different material: 6202.19 is of other textile materials (such as wool, silk, etc.), 6202.12 is of cotton. 6204 Women's suits, dresses, etc.: Different garment type: 6204 does not include overcoats, 6202 specifically refers to overcoat category. Is it woven (not knitted)? Is it women's? Is it an overcoat or car coat? Is the main material cotton? Is the composition percentage accurate?
