CN Explanatory Notes

The European Commission's explanatory notes on how to classify goods in these CN codes. They are not legally binding but customs authorities follow them; they complement the HS Explanatory Notes of the World Customs Organization.

6110 · Jerseys, pullovers, cardigans, waistcoats and similar articles, knitted or crocheted

This heading covers garments intended to cover the upper part of the body, with or without sleeves, with any type of neckline, with or without collar, with or without pockets.

These garments generally have welts or ribbing at the bottom, around the opening, the sleeve-ends or the armholes.

They can be made of any type of knitted or crocheted material, including light or fine-knit fabrics, of any textile fibre.

They may have any form of decoration, including lace or embroidery.

The following are examples of garments falling in this heading:

1. jerseys and pullovers including sweatshirts (with a vee neck, crew neck, round or boat neck or with a roll, polo or turtleneck) that are put on by being pulled over the head and generally have neither an opening in the neckline nor a fastening system;

2. similar garments to those of the previous subparagraph, with or without collar, but having a partial opening at the neckline, for example, at the front or on the shoulder, which is closed by buttons or other means of fastening;

3. waistcoats and cardigans which have a full length opening in the front with or without buttons or other means of fastening, with or without collar;

4. garments known as ‘twinsets’ consisting of a pullover with or without sleeves and a cardigan with long or short sleeves. These garments must be of corresponding sizes and of the same material and colours. Patterns and decoration when present, must also be the same on both garments;

5. garments described in any of the previous indents made of lightweight material of the type used for T-shirts or similar garments, having a drawstring, a ribbed waistband or other means of tightening at the bottom.

This heading does not include:

(a) women's or girls' blouses (heading 6106);

(b) anoraks, windcheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles (heading 6101 or 6102 as appropriate);

6110 30 10 · Lightweight fine knit roll, polo or turtleneck jumpers and pullovers

See the explanatory note to subheading 6110 20 10.

General notes to the chapter

ARTICLES OF APPAREL AND CLOTHING ACCESSORIES, KNITTED OR CROCHETED

General

1. For the classification, within headings, of articles composed of two or more textile materials, see the general explanatory note to this section.

2. For the classification of garments put up in sets for retail sale, see note 14 to this section.

3. When a component of a suit or an ensemble of heading 6103 or 6104 has applied trimmings or decorations which are not found on the other component or components, all these garments remain classified as suits or ensembles as long as these trimmings or decorations are of minor importance and are limited to one or two places on the garment (for example, on the collar and the sleeve ends or on the lapels and pockets).

However, when these decorations are produced during the knitting of the garment, classification as suits or ensembles is excluded, except when the decoration is a logo or other similar symbol.

4. Garments covering the upper part of the body, in distinction to garments covering the lower part of the body and to garments covering the entire body (for example, overcoats, dresses), are garments that:

from their objective characteristics (style, cut etc.) are clearly meant to be worn as, for example, anoraks, (suit) jackets and uppers of ensembles, shirts and blouses, uppers of pyjamas, pullovers, cardigans and waistcoats, upper parts of ski suits etc. (unless otherwise specified, these garments need not completely cover the upper part of the body), and
do not extend below the mid-thigh area. However, mainly due to fashion, some parts of these garments can extend down below mid-thigh area (for example, fancy fashionable fringes, but also the traditional tails of tailcoats) and are negligible as far as the length of the garment is concerned, because they do not change the function of these garments, which is to cover the upper part of the body.
