Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., woven garments. This chapter includes men's, women's and children's outerwear, suits, shirts, underwear, pajamas, etc., but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (Chapter 61) as well as wadding products, medical surgical masks and other special items. Within the chapter, tariff headings are divided by garment type and gender, such as 6205 men's shirts, 6206 women's shirts. Heading 6206 specifically covers women's shirts, including women's blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses, whether or not with collars, sleeves or pockets. However, it excludes women's underwear (such as singlets, vests, classified under 6109 or 6212) as well as T-shirts and vests (classified under 6109). Subheadings under this heading are further subdivided according to fiber composition, such as cotton, man-made fibers, wool or fine animal hair, etc. First 2 digits 62: represents Chapter 62, i.e., garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted. Digits 3-4, 06: represents heading 6206, specifically women's shirts. Digits 5-6, 20: represents subheading 620620, under 6206, divided by fiber composition, where 20 specifically refers to wool or fine animal hair. Therefore, 620620 in full means "women's shirts of wool or fine animal hair," applicable only to woven (non-knitted) women's shirts whose fiber composition is wool or fine animal hair (such as cashmere, camel hair, etc.). The goods are women's shirts, made of wool or fine animal hair, woven rather than knitted. Therefore, they are classified under 6206 (women's shirts) rather than 6106 (knitted women's shirts). Under 6206, according to fiber composition, those of wool or fine animal hair are classified under 620620, rather than cotton (620630) or man-made fibers (620640). If they were men's shirts, they would be classified under 6205; if T-shirts, under 6109.
