Chapter 62: Articles of apparel, not knitted

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6203 when importing men's or boys' suits, jackets, trousers, and ensembles made from various materials, such as wool or synthetic fibres. For example, if you're shipping a wool suit, this is the code you need.

When deciding between the HS-6 lines, consider the material. For instance, 620311 is for wool suits, while 620312 covers suits made from synthetic fibres. If your product doesn't fit these specific categories, check 620319 for other textile materials.

Ensembles are also categorized under this heading. If you're importing a cotton ensemble, use 620322. For synthetic fibre ensembles, go with 620323. If the material is not listed, 620329 is the catch-all for other textiles.

For trousers and similar items, the material again plays a key role. Use 620341 for wool trousers, 620342 for cotton, and 620343 for synthetic. If your trousers are made from a different textile, 620349 is the appropriate code.
