The first two digits of the HS code "62" represent Apparel and clothing accessories.
Specifically, this chapter includes:
- Various types of clothing: Including men's, women's, children's clothing, and clothing made of different materials (cotton, hemp, silk, wool, synthetic fibers, etc.).
- Knitted or crocheted clothing
- Cut and sewn clothing
- Clothing accessories: Such as collars, sleeves, linings, buttons, zippers, hooks, etc.
Reason for classification:
The HS code system classifies items based on their nature, use, and material. The "62" chapter is specifically for clothing intended for wearing and related accessories, hence the first two digits are "62". It is mainly classified based on the use and basic characteristics of the clothing.
If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 6204, 6205, etc.), I can provide a more detailed explanation.
