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 6203 or 6204 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 weaving of the garment, classification as suits or ensembles is excluded, except when the decoration is a logo or other similar symbol.

4. This chapter includes items of industrial and occupational clothing which are referred to in subheadings of the Combined Nomenclature and which because of their general aspect (simple or special cut or design related to the function of the garment) and the nature of their fabric, which is generally tough and non-shrink, make it clear that they are designed to be worn solely or mainly in order to provide protection (physical or health) for other clothing and/or persons during industrial, professional or domestic activities.

Generally, clothing of this type does not incorporate decoration. For this purpose, descriptions and symbols referring to the activity carried out are not considered to be decoration.

Clothing of this type is made of cotton, synthetic or artificial fibres, or of a mixture of these textile materials.

In order to increase their strength, the two types of stitching the most often used when they are made up are the ‘safety’ seam and the double seam.

Industrial and occupational garments are most often fastened by means of zips, press studs, ‘velcro’ strips or a crossed or knotted closure using laces or similar.

Clothing of this type may include pockets which are generally stitched on. Slit projets are generally made of the same fabric as that of the garment and are not lined in the same way as other items of clothing.

Mention may be made among industrial and occupational clothing of clothing used by mechanics, factory workers, bricklayers, farmers, etc., which are generally two-piece garments, overalls, bib-and-brace overalls and trousers. For other activities, these may be aprons, dust coats, etc. (for doctors, nurses, charwomen, hairdressers, bakers, butchers, etc.)

Only garments of a commercial size of 158 (height of body = 158 cm) or more should be considered to be industrial and occupational garments.

Uniform and other similar official garments (judge's gowns, church vestments, for example) are not considered to be industrial and occupational garments.

5. The general explanatory note to Chapter 61, item 4 applies, mutatis mutandis.
