CN code 620290 classifies women's and girls' overcoats, capes and similar outerwear articles made of other textile materials not assigned to subheadings 620210-620240. This heading covers overcoats made of wool, silk, linen, and other natural fibers, as well as multi-fiber blends where neither synthetic, artificial fibers, nor cotton constitutes the predominant component by weight. Wool overcoats for women form a significant portion of this heading - wool does not have a separate six-digit subheading under heading 6202. Classification requires examining the outer layer composition and confirming that the product is made from woven fabric, not knitted. A women's cut is a prerequisite for assignment to heading 6202 rather than 6201.

Overcoats classified under code 620290 are subject to standard regulatory requirements for clothing imported into the EU. Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 requires fiber composition labeling. For wool, designations such as pure new wool, cashmere, mohair, or alpaca are permitted provided quality criteria are met. Silk overcoats require documentation confirming fiber authenticity, as silk is frequently substituted with cheaper synthetic materials imitating its hand feel. REACH requirements apply to dyes, formaldehyde, and metal components. The GPSR imposes product traceability and risk assessment obligations. Imports of overcoats with natural fur or leather elements may require additional CITES documentation if the material originates from protected species.

Women's wool overcoats imported into the EU originate mainly from Italy, China, and Commonwealth of Independent States countries. Imports from China are subject to standard MFN duty rates unless the goods qualify for preferences. Silk products imported from China and India may benefit from GSP preferences subject to compliance with origin rules. The double transformation rule applies to all Chapter 62 clothing - spinning and making-up must occur in the beneficiary country. For disputed classifications, particularly involving multi-fiber blends, Binding Tariff Information provides legal certainty. Customs documentation must include material specifications with exact fiber composition, and customs authorities may take samples for laboratory verification.

Woven overcoats under CN 6202 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.
