HS Code for Boys' cotton jacket

HS code 620332 is designated for men's or boys' jackets and blazers made of cotton that are woven rather than knitted or crocheted. Under the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System, specifically Rule 1, classification is determined by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Chapter 62 specifically addresses woven apparel. A jacket or blazer under this heading is typically an outer garment designed to cover the upper part of the body, usually worn over a shirt or sweater. It does not extend below the mid-thigh area, which distinguishes it from overcoats or car coats. The cotton composition must exceed 50% by weight to qualify for this specific subheading. Proper classification requires an analysis of the garment's construction, including the presence of a lining, the type of closure, and the weave of the fabric. These jackets are characterized by their lack of elasticity compared to knitted versions. The term 'blazer' refers to a type of jacket that is often solid-colored or striped and may feature metal buttons, while 'jackets' covers a broader range of structured outer garments that do not form part of a suit set.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 610332, which is reserved for knitted or crocheted jackets. Another common error is using HS code 620192, which covers overcoats, car coats, and wind-cheaters; these are generally longer or designed for protection against weather rather than as formal or semi-formal indoor/outdoor wear. If the jacket is part of a suit, it should be classified under 620312.
