Scope of CN code 620469
CN code 620469 covers women's and girls' trousers of other textile materials not assigned to subheadings 620461 (wool), 620462 (cotton), and 620463 (synthetic fibers). This heading classifies trousers of linen, silk, artificial fibers (viscose, lyocell, modal), and multi-fiber blends. Women's linen trousers form a popular segment of summer wear. Viscose trousers are gaining importance for wearing comfort. Classification requires examining the dominant fiber and confirming woven construction.
