❓ FAQ
How to determine whether a women's overcoat is of man-made fibres or other materials? Determine based on the fabric fibre composition and content. If man-made fibres (such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, etc.) have the highest content and exceed 50%, it is usually classified as of man-made fibres. If blended, classify by the fibre with the highest content, but note the subheading notes to Chapter 62.

Overcoats generally refer to long, warm outerwear, classified under 6202.13; jackets are generally short and windproof, classified under 6202.93 or 6204. The main differences are style, length and function, and judgment should be based on the actual goods. If the overcoat fabric is man-made fibres and the lining is cotton, how should it be classified? It is usually classified by the fabric material, i.e., of man-made fibres, under 6202.13.

Knitted or crocheted garments are classified under Chapter 61, specifically 6112.1300 (women's knitted overcoats of man-made fibres). The difference from 6202.13 lies in the processing method. How should the material of a "women's overcoat of man-made fibres" be described when declaring?

Avoid writing only "man-made fibre". What is the export tax rebate rate for 620213? The export tax rebate rate is adjusted according to national policy. It is recommended to consult the latest Export Tax Rebate Rate Database or consult the local customs.

If an overcoat is a blend of man-made fibres and wool, with man-made fibres 60% and wool 40%, under which code should it be classified? Classify by the main component; man-made fibres at 60% should be classified under 6202.13. However, note that if wool is only decorative, it does not affect classification. It is recommended to provide a composition test report.
