Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., woven garments. This chapter is complementary to Chapter 61 (knitted or crocheted garments), with the key distinction being the weaving process. This chapter includes men's, women's, and children's coats, suits, shirts, underwear, pajamas, etc., but excludes knitwear, leather garments, plastic garments, etc. Classification requires consideration of material, style, gender, and other factors. Heading 6206 specifically covers women's or girls' shirts, with material limited to silk or silk waste. Under this heading, subheadings are further divided based on the specific type of silk (mulberry silk, tussah silk, etc.) and blended compositions. Note that this refers only to non-knitted woven shirts and must be for women's or girls' wear. If knitted, they are classified under Chapter 61; if men's, under 6205. Code 620610 consists of 6 digits: the first 2 digits "62" represent Chapter 62 (non-knitted garments); digits 3-4 "06" represent heading 6206 (women's or girls' shirts); digits 5-6 "10" represent subheading 6206.10, i.e., silk women's shirts. "10" specifically refers to material of silk or silk waste, including mulberry silk, tussah silk, silk waste, etc. If made of other textile materials, they are classified under other subheadings of 6206. This product is a women's shirt made of silk, non-knitted, therefore classified under 620610. It is not classified under 6205 (men's shirts) due to different gender; not under 6106 (knitted women's shirts) due to different weaving method; not under 6204 (women's dresses, etc.) due to different style. Correct classification requires meeting all four conditions simultaneously: women's, shirt, silk, non-knitted.

❓ FAQ
How to determine whether a silk women's shirt is knitted or woven? Check the fabric structure: knitted fabric has interlooped stitches, good elasticity, and easily unravels; woven fabric is interwoven with warp and weft yarns, tightly structured, and non-elastic.
