CN code 620462 covers women's and girls' trousers of cotton, other than knitted or crocheted, including bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. Women's cotton trousers are one of the most frequently imported clothing items. The heading covers jeans, chinos, cargo trousers, bermudas, and other variants. Classification requires cotton to be the predominant fiber by weight. Trousers from cotton-elastane blends where cotton predominates are classified under this code. The product must be woven.

Women's cotton trousers are subject to labeling requirements of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. REACH requirements apply to reactive dyes, formaldehyde, and nickel. Jeans subjected to washing processes may contain residual chemicals. The GPSR requires traceability and risk assessment. Girls' trousers face stricter mechanical safety requirements.

Women's cotton trousers imported into the EU originate from Bangladesh, China, Vietnam, Turkey, and India. Bangladesh is one of the largest women's jeans exporters. Origin rules require double transformation. Customs documentation must describe the trouser type and fiber composition. Tariff preferences depend on the country of origin.

CN 6204 62 covers women's cotton trousers from woven fabric - including jeans, chinos, cargo trousers and casual trousers. This is one of the highest-volume subheadings in EU clothing imports. Women's jeans are the dominant import item, primarily from Bangladesh, Turkey and Pakistan. Importers should be aware of EU Regulation 1007/2011 on textile fibre labelling and REACH requirements limiting chemical substance content in clothing.
