📋 Code Structure

Chapter
Chapter 62 covers garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted, i.e., garments made of woven fabrics. This chapter includes men's, women's, and children's outerwear, suits, shirts, underwear, pajamas, etc., but excludes knitted or crocheted garments (classified under Chapter 61). Goods of Chapter 62 are typically cut and sewn from woven fabrics, which may be made of various textile materials such as cotton, wool, man-made fibers, silk, linen, etc. Classification under this chapter requires attention to the style, gender, fabric type, and degree of processing of the garment.
Heading
Heading 6207 covers men's underpants, briefs, pajamas, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles, but excludes knitted or crocheted articles of the same kind (classified under Chapter 61). Goods under this heading are all woven men's underwear, including underpants, briefs, pajamas, bathrobes, etc. Depending on the fabric material, the heading is further subdivided into several subheadings, such as of cotton, of man-made fibers, of other textile materials, etc. Classification requires distinguishing whether knitted and the specific style and fabric.
Digit Breakdown
The first 2 digits '62' represent Chapter 62: garments and clothing accessories not knitted or crocheted. The 3rd-4th digits '07' represent heading 6207: men's underpants, briefs, pajamas, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. The 5th-6th digits '19' represent subheading 6207.19: men's underpants and briefs of other textile materials. Among them, the 5th digit '1' indicates underpants and briefs (as opposed to pajamas and other categories), and the 6th digit '9' indicates other textile materials (i.e., materials not specified in previous subheadings, such as silk, wool, linen, etc., but excluding cotton and man-made fibers). Therefore, 620719 fully refers to men's underpants of other textile materials.
Classification Basis
The product is men's underpants, and the fabric is of other textile materials (not cotton, not man-made fibers), woven. If knitted, it would be classified under 6107; if of cotton, under 620711; if of man-made fibers, under 620712. Therefore, only when all three conditions are met—'men's underpants', 'woven', and 'other textile materials'—is it classified under 620719.
