BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Tariff classification and scope of CN code 611212

CN code 611212 covers track suits of knitted fabrics made from synthetic fibres such as polyester, polyamide or acrylic. Track suits of synthetic fibres constitute the dominant segment of the sportswear market due to their functional properties - lightness, quick-drying capability, crease resistance and ease of care. Heading 6112 covers track suits, ski suits and swimwear of knitted fabrics. Classification requires the synthetic fibre to be the dominant component by weight in both garments. The set must be presented together for customs clearance. Track suits of artificial fibres are classified under code 611219. The article must be knitted, not woven. Polyester track suits with moisture-wicking technology represent a significant import segment.

Regulatory requirements and product safety

Track suits of synthetic fibres imported into the EU are subject to Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 on fibre composition labelling. The label must state the percentage of each synthetic fibre. Sports track suits with antibacterial finishes may contain biocidal substances subject to the BPR Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. Track suits with water-repellent treatment may contain PFAS. REACH restricts azo dyes, formaldehyde, phthalates and nonylphenol. Metal elements must comply with nickel restrictions. The GPSR Regulation requires product traceability and designation of a responsible person within the EU. Children's track suits are subject to additional EN 14682 requirements on cords and drawstrings.

Trade and import procedures

Import of synthetic fibre track suits under CN code 611212 represents one of the most important segments of sportswear trade. Major exporters include China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Turkey. Imports from China are subject to standard duty rates and may be covered by anti-dumping measures. Least-developed countries benefit from zero duty rates under EBA. Preferences are available under EVFTA and other EU trade agreements. Rules of origin require double transformation. Branded track suits are subject to intellectual property checks - counterfeit sports track suits constitute a significant category of goods detained at the EU border.

Importing swimwear and ski suits - CN 6112 12

Swimwear and ski suits under CN 6112 12 are subject to specific classification requirements within heading 6112. Swimwear must be intended exclusively for bathing - multipurpose beachwear may fall under different headings. Ski suits include one-piece and two-piece sets made from insulating materials. When importing sportswear with technical membranes, it is worth checking classification under heading 6113 (coated garments) for the correct tariff treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Is a polyester track suit with moisture-wicking technology classified under code 611212?
Yes, a knitted polyester track suit with moisture-wicking technology is classified under CN code 611212. Moisture-wicking is a finishing property of the material and does not affect tariff classification, which depends on the base fibre composition. Polyester is a synthetic fibre.
Do track suits with antibacterial finishes require additional permits?
Track suits with antibacterial finishes may contain biocidal substances subject to the BPR Regulation (EU) No 528/2012. Products containing a biocidal substance must be registered, and the active substance must be approved. Importers should obtain information from the manufacturer about the biocidal substances used and their regulatory status.
How to classify a track suit with a polyester jacket and cotton trousers?
If a track suit's jacket and trousers have different fibre compositions, the set is classified based on the composition of the component giving it its essential character. For sports track suits, the jacket composition typically determines the classification. If no essential character can be determined, General Interpretive Rule 3(c) applies.
What requirements apply to importing swimwear under CN 6112 12?
Swimwear CN 6112 12 must be intended exclusively for bathing - multipurpose beachwear falls under different headings. Materials must comply with REACH requirements. When importing from Asia, check current surveillance measures in the TARIC database.
