Chapter 62: Articles of apparel, not knitted
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6207 when importing or exporting men's or boys' singlets, underpants, night-shirts, and similar clothing items that are not knitted or crocheted. For instance, if you're shipping cotton underpants, this heading is relevant.
When deciding between subheadings, consider the material of the product. For example, HS-620711 applies specifically to men's or boys' underpants made of cotton, while HS-620719 covers those made from other textile materials. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification.
Another key choice involves nightwear. If your shipment includes men's cotton pyjamas, you would use HS-620721. However, if they are made from man-made fibres, HS-620722 is the correct code. This ensures compliance with customs regulations.
For items like bathrobes or dressing gowns, if they are made of cotton, select HS-620791. If they are made from other textile materials, you should use HS-620799. Understanding these nuances will help streamline your import or export process.
