300 declarable lines

Heading 6204 covers women's and girls' woven garments: suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets and blazers, dresses, skirts and divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts, excluding swimwear. The heading is split first by garment type into six groups of subheadings: suits (6204.11 to 6204.19), ensembles (6204.21 to 6204.29), suit-type jackets and blazers (6204.31 to 6204.39), dresses (6204.41 to 6204.49), skirts (6204.51 to 6204.59), and trousers and shorts (6204.61 to 6204.69). Each group is then split by fiber material, then by gender and specific construction or fabric details.
