This chapter includes men's, women's and children's coats, suits, shirts, skirts, trousers, etc., but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61) as well as quilted products, leather garments, etc. The headings within the chapter are subdivided by garment type and gender, such as 6204 for women's suits, dresses, divided skirts, etc. Heading 6204 covers women's (including girls') suits, ensembles, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, breeches, shorts, etc., not knitted or crocheted.

Code 620451 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 suits, ensembles, dresses, skirts, etc.); the 5th-6th digits '51' represent subheading 6204.51, specifically women's skirts of wool or fine animal hair. The 5th digit '5' indicates skirts, and the 6th digit '1' indicates material of wool or fine animal hair. The overall code precisely points to women's skirts of wool or fine animal hair, not knitted or crocheted. The product is a women's skirt, not knitted or crocheted, made of wool or fine animal hair, thus classified under 6204.51. If it were knitted or crocheted, it would be classified under Chapter 61 (e.g., 6104.51); if it were a skirt of other textile materials, it would be classified under 6204.52-6204.59; if it were a men's skirt, it would be classified under 6203.
