HTS Chapter 62 generally covers apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted. The listed headings organize products by garment type and intended wearer, including outerwear, suits, shirts, undergarments, baby clothing, swimwear, foundation garments, handkerchiefs, and scarves. Heading 6210 also covers certain garments made from specified coated, nonwoven, or special textile fabrics, so the fabric construction can be important.
The HTS is read from broad to specific: the chapter identifies the general product family, the heading identifies the garment category, and the subheading adds details such as gender, garment type, fiber content, or other characteristics. The complete 10-digit tariff number may include further statistical distinctions and can be affected by legal notes, exclusions, and Chapter 99 provisions. Classification should be based on the product as imported, using the HTS General Rules of Interpretation, section and chapter notes, and the wording of the relevant headings and subheadings.
What to check
- Confirm whether the item is woven or knitted/crocheted; knitted or crocheted apparel generally belongs in Chapter 61 rather than Chapter 62.
- Record the garment’s construction, principal fiber or material, lining, coatings, insulation, closures, and intended wearer and use; these facts can change the subheading.
- Check heading exclusions and chapter notes, especially for swimwear, protective clothing, textile accessories, composite garments, and goods covered by other chapters.
- Read every subheading level and the related statistical suffix instead of stopping at the four-digit heading; verify that the product description matches the complete 10-digit code.
- Check current official HTS data for any applicable Chapter 99 measures, additional duties, exclusions, quotas, or other requirements, and obtain broker or customs-specialist review when classification is uncertain.
How to use this chapter
A chapter is the first classification level, not a duty rate. Choose the heading that describes the product, narrow by material, construction, use, or other legal distinctions, and verify the final line against the official HTS notes.
