Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., garments made from woven fabrics. This chapter includes men's, women's, children's, and infants' clothing, but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61), wadding products (Chapter 58), and special-function protective clothing (as excluded by certain notes to Chapter 62). Goods of this chapter are typically cut and sewn from woven fabric and involve a large number of specific tariff lines, subdivided by gender, category, and fabric material. Heading 6204 covers women's garments not knitted or crocheted (dresses, skirts, trousers, blouses, coats, etc.), but excludes knitted or crocheted women's garments (Heading 6104) and certain special categories. Under this heading, subheadings are further divided by garment type and fabric material, such as 6204.1 for suits, 6204.2 for dresses, 6204.3 for skirts, 6204.4 for trousers, etc. This heading targets women's garments made from woven fabric, emphasizing the non-knitted process. Code 620442 has 6 digits: the first 2 digits "62" represent Chapter 62 (garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted); digits 3-4 "04" represent Heading 6204 (women's suits, dresses, skirts, trousers, etc.); digits 5-6 "42" represent Subheading 6204.42, specifically cotton dresses. The 5th digit "4" indicates the dress category, and the 6th digit "2" indicates cotton. Therefore, 620442 precisely points to "cotton women's dresses," i.e., women's dresses made from woven cotton fabric. This product is a cotton women's dress. Because it is made from woven cotton fabric and is women's apparel, it is classified under Chapter 62 (non-knitted garments). Under Heading 6204, dresses correspond to Subheading 6204.4, and based on the material being cotton, it is classified under 6204.42. If it were knitted or crocheted, it would be classified under 6104; if made of other materials (such as synthetic fibers), it would be classified under 6204.43, etc.; if it were a women's blouse, it would be classified under 6206.
