How to choose the right subheading

Decide whether the item is a clothing accessory, a garment part, or a complete garment; only accessories and parts belong here.
Check fiber content by weight, since silk at 70% or more, wool or fine animal hair, cotton, and man-made fibers each lead to different subheadings.
For accessories, identify the article type first: shawls, scarves, veils and the like fall in 6117.10, while ties, headbands and other accessories fall in 6117.80.
For parts, identify the garment the part is for, such as sweaters, blouses, coats, or trousers.
Confirm the item is knitted or crocheted; woven versions are classified outside chapter 61.
