CN code 620190 covers men's and boys' overcoats, capes, cloaks and similar outerwear articles made of other textile materials not classified under subheadings 620111 to 620140. This heading classifies overcoats made of wool, silk, linen, and other natural fibers and blends that do not qualify for more specific subheadings. It also applies to coats made from blended fabrics where neither synthetic fibers, artificial fibers, nor cotton constitutes the predominant component by weight of the outer layer. The article must be made from woven fabric (not knitted) and must have the functional characteristics and cut appropriate for outerwear. Classification requires detailed analysis of fiber composition, supported by manufacturer documentation or laboratory test results.

Imports of overcoats classified under code 620190 are subject to the same regulatory requirements as other clothing articles in Chapter 62. Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 mandates fiber composition labeling in the language of the destination country, stating the percentage of each fiber. For wool overcoats, the label may include the designation pure new wool provided quality requirements are met. REACH requirements apply regarding azo dyes, formaldehyde, and nickel in metal components. Silk overcoats may require additional documentation confirming composition, as silk is a high-value fiber that is sometimes substituted with cheaper materials. The GPSR requires product traceability throughout the supply chain and risk assessment by economic operators.

Overcoats classified under code 620190 originate from various countries depending on the fiber type used. Wool overcoats are produced mainly in Italy, the United Kingdom, and Asian countries, while silk products are imported primarily from China and India. Origin rules for Chapter 62 clothing require double transformation. When importing from third countries, traders should verify the availability of preferential tariffs in the TARIC database. Customs authorities may challenge the classification if fiber composition documentation is incomplete or the dominant fiber is uncertain. In case of classification disputes, Binding Tariff Information (BTI) decision can be obtained, providing legal certainty regarding the correct CN code for a period of three years from the date of issue.

Woven overcoats under CN 6201 90 in Chapter 62 cover garments made from woven fabrics, as distinct from knitted items in Chapter 61. Importers must correctly declare the predominant material - cotton, synthetic or artificial fibres determine the subheading and duty rate. When importing lined overcoats, the outer fabric serves as the classification criterion. Mixed fabrics are classified according to the fibre with the greatest share by weight.
