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, underwear, etc., but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61) and special items such as medical or surgical masks. Classification of goods in this chapter requires attention to fabric type, style, gender, and use. Heading 6203 covers men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than knitted or crocheted). An ensemble refers to a set of garments consisting of two or more pieces sold together as a set, intended for informal occasions such as everyday wear. This heading is further subdivided according to fabric material. The first 2 digits "62" represent Chapter 62: garments and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted. The 3rd-4th digits "03" represent heading 6203: men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts. The 5th-6th digits "29" represent subheading 620329: men's or boys' ensembles of other textile materials. "Other textile materials" refers to materials not specified in other subheadings under 6203, such as flax, ramie, jute, regenerated fibers, etc., but excludes wool, cotton, synthetic fibers, and other already specified materials. The goods are men's ensembles, made of other textile materials (such as flax or ramie), not knitted, so they are classified under 6203. If knitted, they would be classified under 6103; if of wool, under 620311; if of cotton, under 620312; if of synthetic fibers, under 620313; if of artificial fibers, under 620319. Since the material is not among those specifically listed above, they are classified under 620329.

📝 Declaration Elements
Product Name: The Chinese and foreign language names of the declared goods should accurately reflect the characteristics of the goods, such as "Men's flax ensembles." Brand: Fill in the brand of the goods (if no brand, write "no brand"), which helps customs identify intellectual property status. Fabric Material: Specifically state the fabric composition and proportions, such as "flax 55%, viscose 45%," which is key to classification. Style: Describe the composition of the ensemble, such as jacket and trousers, and state whether it is sold as a set. Gender: Clearly state men's or boys' to avoid confusion with women's. Weaving Method: Indicate "woven" or "knitted"; woven goes to Chapter 62, knitted goes to Chapter 61. Article Number: Fill in the manufacturer's or exporter's article number for customs inspection. Product Name: Men's flax ensembles; Brand: no brand; Fabric Material: flax 55%, viscose 45%; Style: jacket + trousers, sold as a set; Gender: men's; Weaving Method: woven; Article Number: ABC123. Incomplete declaration of fabric composition, such as failure to provide the blend ratio, making it impossible to determine the subheading. Mistakenly declaring woven fabric as knitted, incorrectly classified under Chapter 61. Ignoring the "set" requirement and declaring a single jacket as an ensemble.

🎯 Classification Logic
Core basis for classification: 1. Weaving method: must be woven (not knitted or crocheted); 2. Gender: men's or boys'; 3. Style: ensemble, i.e., consisting of two or more pieces sold together as a set, for informal occasions; 4. Fabric material: other textile materials, i.e., materials not listed in other subheadings of 6203, such as flax, ramie, etc. If knitted, classify under 6103; if wool, cotton, synthetic fibers, etc., classify under the corresponding subheading. 620311 Men's or boys' ensembles of wool or fine animal hair: The fabric is wool or fine animal hair, whereas 620329 is other textile materials, such as flax. 620312 Men's or boys' ensembles of cotton: The fabric is cotton, whereas 620329 is other textile materials, such as flax. 620313 Men's or boys' ensembles of synthetic fibers: The fabric is synthetic fibers, such as polyester, whereas 620329 is other textile materials. 620319 Men's or boys' ensembles of artificial fibers: The fabric is artificial fibers, such as viscose, whereas 620329 is other textile materials. 610329 Men's or boys' ensembles of other textile materials, knitted or crocheted: The weaving method is knitted or crocheted, whereas 620329 is woven. Is the fabric woven? Is it men's or boys'? Is it sold as a set? Does the fabric belong to other textile materials? Is knitted or crocheted excluded?

❓ FAQ
How to determine whether men's ensembles are woven or knitted? Check the fabric structure: woven fabric is interlaced with warp and weft yarns, has a tight structure, and does not easily unravel; knitted fabric is formed by interlocking loops, is elastic, and easily unravels. You can also check the wash label or ask the supplier. Woven goes to Chapter 62, knitted goes to Chapter 61. What is the difference between an ensemble and a suit? An ensemble is for informal occasions, such as a jacket and trousers combination, with diverse fabrics; a suit usually refers to a formal suit worn on formal occasions, mostly made of wool, with a fixed style. In HS codes, suits are classified under 620311, etc., and ensembles under 620312, etc. If the ensemble fabric is blended, how to determine the subheading? According to the General Rules for the Interpretation of the HS, classify according to the material that predominates by weight. For example, flax 55% and viscose 45%, since flax is the predominant component and flax is not listed in other subheadings of 6203, it is classified under 620329. If none of the blended materials are listed, classify as other textile materials. Can boys' ensembles be classified under 620329? Yes. Heading 6203 covers men's or boys', so boys' ensembles, if made of other textile materials, are also classified under 620329. How to check the import tax rate for 620329? You can log on to the website of the General Administration of Customs of China or use a customs HS code query tool, enter 620329, and check the MFN rate, general rate, VAT rate, etc. Tax rates may change, subject to the latest publication. Must the fabric composition ratio be provided when declaring? Yes. The fabric composition ratio is key to determining the subheading; failure to provide it may lead to classification errors or customs clearance delays. It is recommended to provide a detailed composition test report. What is the difference between 620329 and 620319? 620319 is men's ensembles of artificial fibers, such as viscose; 620329 is of other textile materials, such as flax, ramie, etc. If the fabric is viscose, it should be classified under 620319. If the jacket and trousers in the ensemble are of different fabrics, how to classify? If the jacket and trousers are of different fabrics but sold as a set, classify as a whole, usually determined by the main value or main fabric. If it cannot be determined, they may be classified separately. It is recommended to consult customs or professional classifiers.
