    What decides the code

    • Knitted → chapter 61, heading 6110 (jerseys, pullovers, cardigans, waistcoats and similar articles).
    • Cotton predominating by weight → 6110 20.
    • The target wearer decides the last two digits. A garment that cannot be identified as men's or women's is classified as women's (chapter 61, note 9).
    • A lightweight fine-knit roll, polo or turtleneck jumper has its own code: 6110 20 10.

The exact code depends on your actual item: the declarant remains responsible for the declared code.
