This chapter includes men's, women's, and children's coats, suits, shirts, dresses, trousers, skirts, etc., but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61) as well as wadding products, medical surgical masks, and other special items. The headings within the chapter are divided by garment type and gender, making it a commonly emphasized chapter in customs classification. Heading 6204 covers women's suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (excluding swimwear and ski wear). Under this heading, further subdivision is made by specific garment type and fabric material, making it the core heading for classifying women's woven garments. Code 620461 is a 6-digit subheading: 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, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts); digits 5-6 '61' represent subheading 6204.61, specifically women's trousers and breeches of wool or fine animal hair. The 5th digit '6' indicates trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts category, and the 6th digit '1' indicates the material is wool or fine animal hair. The product is women's trousers, made of wool or fine animal hair fabric, and not knitted or crocheted, therefore classified under Chapter 62. Under heading 6204, it is further classified into 6204.61 based on garment type (trousers) and material (wool or fine animal hair). Adjacent codes such as 6204.62 for women's trousers of cotton, and 6204.63 for women's trousers of synthetic fibres, differ in material.

🎯 Classification Logic
The core basis for classification is the 'Import and Export Tariff' and the 'Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes'. First, determine whether the garment is knitted or crocheted; if not knitted or crocheted, classify under Chapter 62; second, classify under heading 6204 based on gender (women's); then classify under subheading 6204.6 based on garment type (trousers); finally classify under 6204.61 based on material (wool or fine animal hair). Material determination is based on the content of wool or fine animal hair in the fabric, usually by weight. 620462 Women's trousers of cotton: Material is cotton, whereas 620461 is wool or fine animal hair. If cotton content exceeds wool, classify under 620462. 620463 Women's trousers of synthetic fibres: Material is synthetic fibres, such as polyester, nylon, etc. If synthetic fibre content is highest, classify under 620463. 620469 Women's trousers of other textile materials: Applicable to textile materials other than wool, cotton, synthetic fibres, artificial fibres, such as silk, linen, etc. 610461 Knitted or crocheted women's trousers of wool: Knitted or crocheted garments are classified under Chapter 61, whereas not knitted or crocheted are under Chapter 62. Confirm whether the fabric is not knitted or crocheted? Confirm whether the garment is women's? Confirm whether it is trousers or breeches? Confirm whether wool or fine animal hair is the predominant material? Confirm whether declaration elements such as brand and composition are accurate?
