Chapter 62 is the HS classification system's category for 'Garments and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted,' covering garments made of woven fabrics, leather, plastics, and other materials other than knitted or crocheted. Its scope includes men's, women's, and children's coats, suits, shirts, underwear, pajamas, etc., but excludes knitted garments (Chapter 61) and medical garments (Chapter 30). Goods in this chapter are typically made from woven fabrics and have a clearly defined wearing function. Heading 6203 covers 'Men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than knitted or crocheted).' Among these, 'jackets' refers to garments covering the upper body, front-opening, with sleeves, and not extending below the hip, commonly known as jackets, blazers, etc. This heading is further subdivided by material (wool, cotton, man-made fibers, etc.) and specific style. Code 620333 is a six-digit subheading: the first 2 digits '62' represent Chapter 62 (non-knitted garments); digits 3-4 '03' represent heading 6203 (men's jackets, trousers, etc.); digits 5-6 '33' represent the subheading 'Men's or boys' jackets and blazers of man-made fibers.' The 5th digit '3' indicates man-made fibers (distinguishing from cotton, wool, etc.), and the 6th digit '3' indicates specifically jackets and blazers (as distinguished from trousers, shorts, etc.). Therefore, this code precisely points to 'Men's or boys' jackets and blazers of man-made fibers,' commonly such as jackets and blazers made of synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. This product is a men's jacket, made of man-made fibers, not knitted, therefore classified under 6203. If knitted, it would be classified under 6103; if women's, under 6204; if cotton, under 620332; if wool, under 620331. Correct classification requires simultaneous confirmation of style, gender, material, and method of construction.

Brand: Fill in the brand name of the commodity (if no brand, write 'No Brand'), which must be consistent with the actual product or authorization documents. Material Composition: Indicate the fiber composition and content of the shell fabric and lining, such as '100% polyester,' '65% polyester 35% cotton.' Weaving Method: Indicate whether it is woven or knitted; this code applies only to woven fabrics. Style: Describe the specific style features of the garment, such as 'front-opening, with collar, with sleeves, with zipper,' etc. Gender: Clearly indicate Men's; must not be confused with women's or unisex. Processing Method: State whether washed, dyed, printed, or other post-treatment, but not mandatory. Product Name: Men's man-made fiber woven jacket; Brand: ABC; Material Composition: Shell 100% polyester, Lining 100% nylon; Weaving Method: Woven; Style: Front-opening, with zipper, with collar, with sleeves, two pockets; Gender: Men's; Processing Method: Dyed. Misclassifying knitted man-made fiber men's jackets under 620333, when they should actually be classified under 6103.

🎯 Classification Logic
The core basis for classification is: 1) The weaving method must be woven (not knitted); 2) Gender is men's; 3) Material is man-made fibers (synthetic or artificial fibers); 4) Style is jacket (jacket, blazer, etc.), not suits, trousers, etc. Reference should also be made to the 'Import and Export Tariff' and its notes to confirm the definition of man-made fibers (e.g., Chapter 54 synthetic fibers, Chapter 55 artificial fibers). 610333 Men's or boys' jackets and blazers of man-made fibers, knitted: Different weaving method; 610333 is knitted or crocheted, 620333 is woven. Can be distinguished by observing fabric texture or examining the production process. 620332 Men's or boys' jackets and blazers of cotton: Different material; 620332 is cotton, 620333 is man-made fibers. Must be determined based on fiber composition and proportion; if man-made fiber content exceeds 50%, classify under 620333. 620331 Men's or boys' jackets and blazers of wool or fine animal hair: Different material; 620331 is wool or fine animal hair, 620333 is man-made fibers. For blends, classify according to the predominant component. 620341 Men's or boys' trousers of wool or fine animal hair: Different style; 620341 is trousers, 620333 is upper garment. Distinguish based on the body area covered by the garment. 620343 Men's or boys' trousers of man-made fibers: Different style; 620343 is trousers, 620333 is jacket. Can be determined by garment length and wearing method. Is it confirmed as men's? Is it confirmed as woven (not knitted)? Are man-made fibers the predominant component? Is the style a jacket (not suit, trousers)? Have the latest tariff notes been checked?

❓ FAQ
How to determine whether a men's jacket is knitted or woven? Observe the fabric structure: knitted fabrics have loop structures, better elasticity, and edges that tend to curl; woven fabrics have warp and weft interwoven, tight structure, with no or little elasticity. You can also check the wash label or ask the manufacturer. If knitted, it should be classified under 6103 rather than 6203. How to classify a man-made fiber blended jacket? According to HS rules, blended materials are classified according to the predominant component. If man-made fiber (synthetic or artificial) content is the highest, classify under 620333; if cotton content is the highest, under 620332; if wool content is the highest, under 620331. Accurate percentage composition must be provided. What is the difference between a men's man-made fiber jacket and a men's man-made fiber suit? A suit requires matching upper and lower garments of the same material, and is usually declared together. A jacket refers only to the upper garment and does not include trousers. If a jacket is declared separately, even if it matches a certain pair of trousers, it should still be classified as a jacket. What is the export tax rebate rate for 620333? The export tax rebate rate is subject to national policy adjustments. It is recommended to check the latest 'Export Tax Rebate Rate Database' or consult the local customs. It can usually be queried by commodity code on the electronic tax bureau or customs website. What declaration elements are required for importing men's man-made fiber jackets? Required declarations include product name, brand, material composition, weaving method, style, gender, etc. Specific requirements are subject to customs; refer to the 'Customs Declaration Elements for Import and Export Commodities of the People's Republic of China.' If the jacket has leather trim, does it affect classification? If leather is used only as decoration (e.g., collar, cuffs) and does not constitute the essential character, it is still classified according to the fabric material. If the leather area is large, it may be classified under Chapter 42. Judgment should be based on the proportion and role of leather. What is the difference between 620333 and 620433? 620433 is women's jackets and blazers of man-made fibers, 620333 is men's. The main difference is gender, which should be comprehensively determined based on style, size, labels, etc. How to check the regulatory conditions for 620333?
