HS 620419 Of other textile materials

```html

What products does HS 620419 cover?

This subheading covers women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts, of other textile materials not specified in subheading 6204.11 to 6204.18. According to the WCO Harmonized System Explanatory Notes and the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS), this includes garments made from materials such as jute, ramie, linen blends, or other vegetable fibers, as well as synthetic or artificial fibers not falling under previous subheadings. The key is that the primary textile material does not fit the descriptions of cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers as defined in preceding codes.

What falls outside HS 620419?

The following products are excluded from HS 620419: garments made predominantly of cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers (which would be classified under 6204.11 through 6204.18, or other relevant headings in Chapter 62). Also excluded are knitted or crocheted garments of this type, which fall under Chapter 61. For instance, a women's linen suit would be classified here, but a women's knitted polyester suit would be classified under 6104.13, and a women's wool suit would be classified under 6204.11.

What are common classification mistakes for HS 620419?

A common error is misinterpreting the "other textile materials" clause, leading to the incorrect classification of garments made from common fibers like cotton or polyester. Importers may overlook the specific material composition and assign the code based on the garment's style rather than its primary textile content. Adherence to General Rule of Interpretation (GRI) 3(b) for mixtures and careful review of the WCO Explanatory Notes are crucial to avoid misclassification, ensuring the correct primary textile material dictates the classification.

How should importers classify products under HS 620419?

The correct procedure for classifying products under HS 620419 involves a systematic approach. First, determine the garment type (suit, ensemble, jacket, etc.) and confirm it is for women or girls. Second, identify the primary textile material of the garment. If this material is not cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or a specific man-made fiber covered by other subheadings within 6204, and the garment is not knitted or crocheted, then HS 620419 is likely applicable. Consulting the official tariff schedule and WCO notes is essential.

How is the duty calculated for products under HS 620419?

A women's blazer made of 100% jute, weighing 0.5 kg and declared at a customs value of $50 USD, would attract a US duty. Assuming a Most Favored Nation (MFN) duty rate of 3.5% ad valorem, the duty would be $1.75 (3.5% × $50). This calculation is based on the ad valorem rate applied to the declared customs value, as published in the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) under subheading 6204.19.9000, which covers suits, ensembles, and jackets of other textile materials.

Which trade agreements reduce duties for HS 620419?

Several free trade agreements may reduce the applicable duty rate for HS 620419. For example, under the USMCA, garments originating from Mexico or Canada may enter the US duty-free. Similarly, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement allows for duty-free entry between the EU and the UK for originating goods. To claim these preferences, importers typically require a self-certified origin statement or a specific declaration of origin on the invoice, depending on the agreement and jurisdiction, for goods originating from countries like Mexico, Canada, or EU member states.
