- Knitted → chapter 61; woven → chapter 62. This is the first question to ask.
- Composition by weight decides the subheading (Section XI, note 2). Cashmere and other fine animal hair count as "fine animal hair" (chapter 51, note 1 b).
- The intended users (men or women) separate 6103 from 6104, and 6203 from 6204.
- Example (demo case): a knitted polyester dress falls under 6104, not 6204, which covers woven fabric.
- Example "hs code dress": women's woven cotton dress → 6204 42; knitted cotton → 6104 42.
