📋 Code Structure

Chapter
Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., garments made of woven fabric. 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 articles and leather garments. The headings within the chapter are divided by gender, garment type and fabric material, making it a core chapter in customs classification involving woven garments.
Heading
Heading 6204 specifically refers to women's suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (excluding swimwear). Goods under this heading are all woven women's garments, further subdivided by specific style and fabric material. Skirts, as an independent style, are classified under this heading in separate subheadings according to different materials.
Digit Breakdown
Code 620452 is a six-digit subheading. The first two digits 62 represent Chapter 62: garments and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted. Digits 3-4, 04, represent Heading 6204: women's suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (excluding swimwear). Digits 5-6, 52, represent Subheading 620452: women's or girls' skirts of cotton. Among these, the 5th digit 5 indicates the skirt category, and the 6th digit 2 indicates cotton. Therefore, this code precisely points to women's woven skirts of cotton, excluding dresses, divided skirts and other styles.
Classification Basis
The goods are women's woven skirts of cotton, which fall within the scope of Heading 6204, and the material is cotton, so they are classified under Subheading 620452. If they were knitted or crocheted skirts, they should be classified under Chapter 61 (e.g., 610452); if they were dresses, they should be classified under 620442 (dresses of cotton); if they were skirts of synthetic fibres, they would be classified under 620453. Therefore, according to the method of weaving, style and material, the goods are correctly classified under 620452.

🎯 Classification Logic

Basis
The core basis for classification is the 'Import and Export Tariff' and the 'Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System'. First determine whether it is knitted or crocheted; if so, classify under Chapter 61; if woven, classify under Chapter 62. Then determine the subheading based on gender (women's), style (skirt) and material (cotton). Heading 6204 explicitly includes women's skirts, and Subheading 620452 is for cotton. Therefore, women's woven skirts of cotton are classified under 620452.

❓ FAQ

Q: How to determine whether a women's skirt is classified under 620452 or 610452?
A: The key is the method of weaving. If the skirt is woven (woven fabric), classify under 620452; if it is knitted or crocheted, classify under 610452. You can check the fabric structure; woven fabrics are usually non-elastic, while knitted fabrics have a loop structure.
Q: How to classify cotton blended skirts?
A: According to the General Rules for the Interpretation of the HS, if cotton is blended with other fibres, classify according to the main material. If cotton content is the highest, still classify under 620452; if synthetic fibre content is the highest, classify under 620453. Accurate composition ratios must be provided.
Q: What is the difference in classification between dresses and skirts?
A: A dress is a one-piece garment combining a top and a skirt, classified under 620442 (cotton); a skirt is a half-length skirt, only a lower garment, classified under 620452. When declaring, they must be accurately distinguished according to style.
Q: Is the brand required to be provided when declaring?
A: Yes, according to customs regulations, products with a brand must declare the brand name. If there is no brand, declare 'no brand'. Brand information helps customs carry out intellectual property protection.
Q: If the skirt has a decorative belt, does it affect classification?
