CN code 620422 covers women's and girls' ensembles of cotton, other than knitted or crocheted. An ensemble is a set of at least two clothing articles from the same or complementary cotton fabric, forming together an outfit for a particular occasion, packaged and sold together. Cotton must be the predominant fiber by weight. Women's cotton ensembles include blouse-skirt sets, jacket-trousers sets, top-shorts combinations, and other clothing combinations from woven cotton. Unlike a suit, an ensemble allows complementary fabrics and different clothing types. The product must be woven, not knitted.

Women's cotton ensembles are subject to labeling requirements of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. Each set component should have its own fiber composition label. REACH requirements apply to reactive dyes for cotton, formaldehyde limits, and nickel in metal components. The GPSR requires traceability and risk assessment. Girls' ensembles face stricter mechanical safety requirements for drawstrings and cords. Cotton washing and bleaching processes may leave residual chemicals subject to control.

Women's cotton ensembles imported into the EU originate mainly from China, Bangladesh, India, and Turkey. Customs documentation must describe the ensemble listing component parts. Customs authorities verify whether goods meet the ensemble definition. Origin rules require double transformation. Bangladesh benefits from EBA preferences, Turkey from the customs union. Import of separate components leads to individual classification under respective CN codes.

Women's garments under CN 6204 22 imported into the EU should carry correct country-of-origin labelling. While the EU does not mandate origin labelling at Community level, consumer protection laws in Member States prohibit misleading consumers about product origin. When importing from Asia through third countries, transhipment does not change origin - the last substantial transformation determines the country of origin for customs purposes.
