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, dresses, skirts, trousers, ensembles, etc. It complements Chapter 61 (knitted or crocheted garments), and classification requires first determining the method of construction. Goods of this chapter are usually made of woven fabrics, such as cotton, wool, man-made fibers, etc., but do not include knitted items, leather garments (Chapter 42), or special protective clothing (except certain headings of Chapter 62). Heading 6204 covers women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, shorts, etc. Among these, ensembles (suits) refer to outfits consisting of two or three pieces, with a jacket and trousers or skirt as a set, for formal or semi-formal occasions. This heading does not include knitted women's suits (Chapter 61) or men's suits (6203). Code 620429 consists of 6 digits. The first 2 digits '62' represent Chapter 62: garments and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted. The 3rd-4th digits '04' represent heading 6204: women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear). The 5th-6th digits '29' represent subheading 6204.29: women's or girls' ensembles of other textile materials. The '2' indicates 'ensembles' under the subheading level, and '9' indicates 'other textile materials', i.e., textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, synthetic fibers, artificial fibers, such as silk, flax, regenerated fibers, etc. The product is a women's ensemble, made of woven fabric, and the material is not specifically named as wool, cotton, synthetic fibers, etc., so it is classified under 620429. If knitted, it would be classified under Chapter 61; if men's, under 6203; if the material is synthetic fibers, under 620423; if it is a single jacket or trousers, under 6204.3 or 6204.6 respectively, etc.

Is it for women? Is it an ensemble (two-piece or three-piece)? Is the material not wool, cotton, synthetic fibers, artificial fibers? Have specific fiber composition and proportions been provided?
