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.

Classification and definition of a suit in customs tariff

CN code 620311 covers men's and boys' suits of wool or fine animal hair, other than knitted or crocheted. A suit in customs nomenclature terms is an ensemble consisting of at least two parts (jacket and trousers, or jacket, trousers, and waistcoat) made from the same fabric, sold together as a single commercial unit. Note 3(a) to Chapter 62 specifies that suit components must be made from fabric of identical fiber composition, weave, color, and finish. Wool includes sheep's wool, cashmere, mohair, alpaca, and other fine animal hair as defined in Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. Wool suits constitute a significant position in formal clothing trade.

Regulatory requirements and marking

Wool suits imported into the EU are subject to mandatory fiber composition labeling in the language of the country of sale. The label may bear the designation pure new wool if the product meets quality requirements - the content of new (non-recycled) wool fibers must be at least 97.5 percent. REACH requirements apply to dyes used for wool, particularly acid and metal complex dyes that may release aromatic amines or heavy metals. Metal suit components (buttons, zippers) are subject to nickel release limits. The GPSR requires product traceability and safety documentation. Suits with fur trimmings, such as natural fur collars, may require additional documentation regarding animal welfare regulations.

Trade and customs procedures for wool suits

Wool suits imported into the EU originate mainly from Italy, China, Vietnam, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. Italian suit production is concentrated in the Biella and Prato regions, where the highest quality wool fabrics are manufactured. Imports from China are subject to standard MFN duty rates. Turkish suits benefit from the customs union with the EU. Imports from Vietnam benefit from the EVFTA agreement with preferential rates subject to double transformation rules. Customs documentation must clearly describe the goods as a suit - an ensemble of two or three pieces made from the same fabric, packaged and sold together. If components are imported separately, they are classified individually as jackets or trousers.

Woven vs knitted suits - customs differences CN 6203 11

Suits under CN 6203 11 in Chapter 62 cover woven (not knitted) garments, distinguishing them from analogous headings in Chapter 61. Classification in Chapter 62 requires the material to be woven - interlacing of warp and weft threads. Duty rates for woven and knitted suits may differ. Correctly specifying the CN code in the customs declaration is essential, as errors between Chapter 61 and 62 result in duty reassessment with interest.

Frequently asked questions

What must an ensemble meet to qualify as a suit under code 620311?
A suit must consist of at least two parts - a jacket and trousers (optionally a waistcoat) - made from the same wool fabric with identical composition, weave, color, and finish. The parts must be packaged and sold together as a single commercial unit. Components made from different fabrics do not constitute a suit under customs tariff definitions.
How is a wool suit imported in separate packages classified?
If the jacket and trousers are imported separately, they are classified individually - the jacket under the appropriate code for jackets (6203.31-39) and the trousers under codes 6203.41-49. Suit status requires joint presentation at customs clearance as a single commercial unit.
Is a wool-polyester blend suit classified under code 620311?
Yes, provided wool is the predominant fiber by weight. A suit made from fabric containing, for example, 55 percent wool and 45 percent polyester is classified as a wool suit under 620311. If polyester predominates, the correct code is 620312 (suits of synthetic fibers).
How do woven suits CN 6203 11 differ from knitted suits in Chapter 61?
Woven suits CN 6203 11 in Chapter 62 are made from woven fabrics (warp and weft interlacing), while knitted suits in Chapter 61 have a loop structure. Classification affects the duty rate. Correctly identifying the CN code is essential at import.
