How to choose the right code

Are the jeans cut for men or boys, or for women or girls (garments that can’t be identified as either are classified with women’s and girls’ garments)? Use 6203.42 when they are woven trousers for men or boys, with cotton the main material by weight. Use 6204.62 when they are woven trousers for women or girls, with cotton the main material by weight.

Is cotton the main material by weight, or synthetic fibres? Use 6203.42 when they are woven trousers for men or boys, with cotton the main material by weight. Use 6203.43 when they are woven trousers for men or boys, with synthetic fibres the main material by weight. Use 6204.62 when they are woven trousers for women or girls, with cotton the main material by weight. Use 6204.63 when they are woven trousers for women or girls, with synthetic fibres the main material by weight.

Textile goods of mixed materials are classified as if made wholly of the textile that makes up most of their weight.

Classification depends on the exact product
