Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., woven garments. This chapter includes finished garments for men, women, and children, but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61) as well as special categories such as quilted garments and medical garments. Chapter 62 is one of the core chapters for textile and apparel classification, with a broad range of goods; classification requires close attention to fabric weaving method, gender, style, and use. Heading 6204 covers women's suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, shorts, and similar woven garments. All garments under this heading are for women, excluding men's (6203) and infants' garments (6209). Ensembles generally refer to garments consisting of two or more pieces coordinated as a set for everyday wear, and must meet specific combination conditions. The first 2 digits "62" indicate Chapter 62: garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, specifying that the goods are woven rather than knitted. Digits 3-4 "04" indicate heading 6204: women's suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, shorts (other than knitted or crocheted). Digits 5-6 "22" indicate subheading 6204.22: women's or girls' ensembles of cotton. Within 6204, "22" specifically refers to ensembles of cotton, distinguishing them from other materials (such as synthetic fibers, wool, etc.) and other styles (such as suits, trousers, etc.). The goods are women's ensembles, woven, made of cotton, meeting the description of 6204.22. They are not classified under 6204.21 (of wool or fine animal hair) or 6204.23 (of synthetic fibers) because the material is cotton; not under 6204.19 (of other textile materials) because cotton is specifically named; not under 6203 (men's) because the gender is women's; not under Chapter 61 because they are not knitted.

Product Name: The Chinese and foreign language names of the declared goods, which should accurately reflect the garment style, such as "Cotton Women's Ensembles". Weaving Method: Indicate whether woven, knitted, or crocheted; this code requires woven. Material Composition: List the main fiber components and content of the fabric, such as "100% cotton" or "60% cotton, 40% polyester". Style: Describe the specific composition of the ensemble, such as top + trousers, top + skirt, etc., and indicate whether it is a set. Gender: Clearly indicate women's, to distinguish from men's (6203). Brand: If there is a brand, declare the brand name; if no brand, declare "No Brand". Item Number: The product number from the manufacturer or exporter for identification. Ensemble Composition and Quantity: Indicate the number of pieces in the ensemble and each item, such as "one top, one pair of trousers". Product Name: Cotton Women's Ensembles; Weaving Method: Woven; Material Composition: 100% cotton; Style: Top + trousers two-piece set; Gender: Women's; Brand: No Brand; Item Number: WCS2024-01; Ensemble Composition and Quantity: one long-sleeved top, one pair of trousers. Knitted or crocheted ensembles mistakenly classified under 6204, but should actually be under Chapter 61. When the material is a blend of cotton and other fibers, failure to classify according to the main component results in incorrect subheading. Mistakenly declaring a single top or trousers as an ensemble, but should actually be classified under 6206 or other subheadings of 6204.

Core classification basis: 1) Chapter 62 notes, confirming not knitted or crocheted; 2) Heading 6204 text, women's ensembles; 3) Subheading 6204.22, of cotton; 4) "Import and Export Tariff" and national subheading notes, definition of ensembles (usually two or more pieces as a set for everyday wear); 5) Material composition, cotton content must meet subheading requirements (usually the highest cotton content by weight). 6204.21 Women's or girls' ensembles of wool or fine animal hair: Material is wool or fine animal hair, not cotton. If blended, compare the weight of the main component. 6204.23 Women's or girls' ensembles of synthetic fibers: Material is synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, etc., with cotton not the main component. 6204.29 Women's or girls' ensembles of other textile materials: Applicable to textile materials other than cotton, wool, and synthetic fibers, such as silk, linen, etc. 6203.22 Men's or boys' ensembles of cotton: Gender is men's, whereas 6204.22 is women's. 6104.22 Women's or girls' ensembles of cotton, knitted: Weaving method is knitted, belonging to Chapter 61, whereas 6204.22 is woven. Is it confirmed as woven? Is it women's? Is it an ensemble? Is the main material cotton? Is it a set for everyday wear?

How to determine whether a set of garments is an "ensemble"? An ensemble generally refers to garments consisting of two or more pieces coordinated as a set for everyday wear, such as a top with trousers or a skirt. It must meet: 1) sold as a set; 2) coordinated style; 3) not a suit, not professional sportswear. If sold as a single piece, classify as a single garment. How to classify women's ensembles blended of cotton and polyester? According to the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Tariff, blended garments are classified according to the main component by weight. If cotton content is highest (e.g., 60% cotton, 40% polyester), classify under 6204.22; if polyester content is highest, classify under 6204.23. Accurate component test reports are required. Which code should knitted women's ensembles be classified under? Knitted or crocheted garments are classified under Chapter 61, specifically 6104.22 (Women's or girls' ensembles of cotton, knitted). If mistakenly classified under 6204.22, it will result in classification error, affecting tax rates and regulatory conditions. How to fill in the brand when declaring? If there is a brand, fill in the brand name (e.g., "NIKE"); if no brand, fill in "No Brand". Note that the brand must match the actual marking on the goods and cannot be fabricated. If produced under authorization, provide a brand authorization letter. What is the export tax rebate rate for 6204.22? The export tax rebate rate is subject to national policy adjustments. It is recommended to check the latest rebate rate through the "China Customs Import and Export Tariff" or the "International Trade Single Window". Generally, textile and apparel rebate rates are relatively high, but the official release shall prevail. How to classify if the ensemble includes one top and two pairs of trousers? If packaged and sold as a set, still classify as an ensemble. However, if one piece is packaged or sold separately, it must be classified separately. It is recommended to declare according to the actual sales status. How to query the regulatory conditions for 6204.22? Regulatory condition codes can be queried through the General Administration of Customs website or the "Import and Export Tariff", such as "A" for inbound goods customs clearance form, "B" for outbound goods customs clearance form. The latest version of the tariff shall prevail. What is the difference between 6204.22 and 6204.29? 6204.22 specifically refers to cotton, while 6204.29 refers to other textile materials (such as silk, linen, etc.). If the garment material is a blend of cotton and linen, and cotton content is highest, still classify under 6204.22; if linen content is highest, classify under 6204.29.
