CN code 620432 covers women's and girls' jackets of cotton, other than knitted or crocheted, presented as standalone articles. Cotton jackets are popular in casual and summer wear. Classification requires cotton to be the predominant fiber by weight of the outer fabric. Jackets from cotton-elastane blends where cotton predominates are classified under this code. The product must have jacket characteristics - outerwear covering the upper body with sleeves and fastening. A denim jacket of cotton is also classified under this code, provided it has a jacket rather than a coat cut.

Cotton jackets are subject to labeling requirements of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. REACH requirements apply to reactive dyes for cotton, formaldehyde limits, and nickel in metal components. Washing and bleaching processes for denim jackets may leave residual chemicals. The GPSR requires traceability and risk assessment. Girls' jackets face stricter mechanical safety requirements for drawstrings and small components.

Women's cotton jackets imported into the EU originate from China, Bangladesh, India, and Turkey. Customs documentation must describe the product as a jacket presented individually. Origin rules require double transformation. Bangladesh benefits from EBA preferences, Turkey from the customs union. Customs authorities verify fiber composition. Denim cotton jackets are a popular import item requiring correct classification.

Blazers and jackets under CN 6204 32 are subject to market surveillance for product safety. The EU General Product Safety Regulation 2023/988 requires that clothing poses no mechanical risks (buttons, zippers) or chemical hazards. Market surveillance authorities sample products for laboratory testing. Importers are responsible for product compliance throughout the distribution chain and must maintain technical documentation.
