📋 Code Structure

Chapter
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 coats, suits, shirts, pajamas, underwear, etc., but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61) as well as quilted garments, medical garments, etc. Goods of this chapter are usually made of woven fabrics, such as cotton, wool, man-made fibers, etc.
Heading
Heading 6203 covers men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than knitted or crocheted). Garments under this heading are generally outerwear, excluding underwear, pajamas, etc. Ensembles refer to garments sold as a set of two or more pieces, intended for everyday informal occasions.
Digit Breakdown
First 2 digits 62: indicates Chapter 62, garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted. Digits 3-4, 03: indicates heading 6203, men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts. Digits 5-6, 22: indicates subheading 6203.22, men's or boys' ensembles of cotton. Among these, the 5th digit 2 indicates cotton (according to the subheading structure, usually 1 is wool or fine animal hair, 2 is cotton, 3 is synthetic fibers, 4 is other textile materials), and the 6th digit 2 indicates ensembles (at the subheading level, 1 is suits, 2 is ensembles, 3 is jackets, 4 is trousers, etc.).
Classification Basis
The goods are men's ensembles of cotton, sold as a set of two or more pieces, intended for everyday informal occasions, not knitted, therefore classified under 6203.22. They are not classified under 6203.11 (suits of wool) or 6203.12 (suits of cotton) because ensembles and suits have different definitions; nor under 6203.19 (suits of other materials) because the material is cotton.

📝 Declaration Elements

🎯 Classification Logic

Basis
Core criteria for classification: 1. The goods must be for men's or boys' wear; 2. Must be non-knitted or non-crocheted (i.e., woven); 3. Must be an ensemble, i.e., sold as a set of two or more pieces, intended for everyday informal occasions; 4. Material must be cotton (cotton accounts for the highest percentage by weight, usually exceeding 50%). Only when all the above conditions are met simultaneously can it be classified under 6203.22. If knitted, classify under Chapter 61; if a suit (business suit), classify under 6203.12; if other materials, classify under 6203.19.
Confused Codes:
6203.12 - Men's suits of cotton
Suits refer to business suits, where the jacket and trousers must be of the same color and material, intended for formal occasions; ensembles are intended for informal occasions with a more casual style.
6203.19 - Men's suits of other textile materials
Material is not cotton, such as wool, man-made fibers, etc., and should be classified under the corresponding subheading according to material.
6103.22 - Men's ensembles of cotton, knitted
Weaving method is knitted, classified under Chapter 61, not Chapter 62.
6203.23 - Men's ensembles of synthetic fibers
Material is synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, etc., rather than cotton.
6203.29 - Men's ensembles of other textile materials
Material is textile materials other than cotton and synthetic fibers, such as linen, silk, etc.
