Chapter 61 vs Chapter 62
How to Choose Between HS Chapter 61 and 62
The key distinction is whether the apparel is knitted/crocheted or not.
Chapter 61
Generally covers knitted or crocheted apparel.
Chapter 62
Generally covers apparel that is not knitted or crocheted, including many woven garments.
For example, the same general type of garment can fall under different chapters depending on how it is constructed. Classification should therefore be based on the actual product rather than simply its commercial name.
Chapter 63 — Made-Up Textiles
Chapter 63 includes a broad range of made-up textile products.
Examples include:
- Bed linen
- Table linen
- Toilet and kitchen linen
- Certain household textile articles
- Textile sets
- Other made-up textile articles
CBIC’s classification guidance, for example, identifies dress sets under heading 6307 and distinguishes certain apparel based on whether it is knitted/crocheted or not.
