Notes.
1. This Chapter applies only to made up articles of any
textile fabric other than wadding, excluding knitted or
crocheted articles (other than those of heading 62.12).
2. This Chapter does not cover:
(a) Worn clothing or other worn articles of heading
6309.00.00; or
(b) Orthopaedic appliances, surgical belts, trusses
or the like (heading 90.21).
3. For the purposes of headings 62.03 and 62.04:
(a) The term "suit" means a set of garments
composed of two or three pieces made up, in
respect of their outer surface, in identical
fabric and comprising:
- one suit coat or jacket the outer shell of
which, exclusive of sleeves, consists of four
or more panels, designed to cover the upper
part of the body, possibly with a tailored
waistcoat in addition whose front is made
from the same fabric as the outer surface of
the other components of the set and whose
back is made from the same fabric as the
lining of the suit coat or jacket; and
- one garment designed to cover the lower part
of the body and consisting of trousers,
breeches or shorts (other than swimwear), a
skirt or a divided skirt, having neither
braces nor bibs.
All of the components of a "suit" must be
of the same fabric construction, colour and
composition; they must also be of the same
style and of corresponding or compatible size. However, these components may have piping (a strip of fabric sewn into the seam) in a different fabric.
If several separate components to cover the
lower part of the body are presented together
(for example, two pairs of trousers or
trousers and shorts, or a skirt or divided
skirt and trousers), the constituent lower
part shall be one pair of trousers or, in the
case of women's or girls' suits, the skirt or
divided skirt, the other garments being
considered separately.
The term "suit" includes the following sets
of garments, whether or not they fulfill all
the above conditions:
- morning dress, comprising a plain jacket
(cutaway) with rounded tails hanging well
down at the back and striped trousers;
- evening dress (tailcoat), generally made of
black fabric, the jacket of which is
relatively short at the front, does not close
and has narrow skirts cut in at the hips and
hanging down behind;
- dinner jacket suits, in which the jacket is
similar in style to an ordinary jacket
(though perhaps revealing more of the shirt
front), but has shiny silk or imitation silk
lapels.
(b) The term "ensemble" means a set of garments
(other than suits and articles of heading
62.07 or 62.08) composed of several pieces
made up in identical fabric, put up for retail
sale, and comprising:
- one garment designed to cover the upper part
of the body, with the exception of waistcoats
which may also form a second upper garment,
and
- one or two different garments, designed to
cover the lower part of the body and
consisting of trousers, bib and brace
overalls, breeches, shorts (other than
swimwear), a skirt or a divided skirt.
All of the components of an ensemble must be
of the same fabric construction, st
