Tariff classification and subheading scope

CN code 620819 covers women's or girls' slips and petticoats of textile materials other than man-made fibres, made from woven fabrics. This is the residual subheading within the slip category of heading 6208 of the Combined Nomenclature. Products classified here include slips of silk, cotton, wool, linen and blends where man-made fibres do not constitute the predominant component by weight. Cotton and silk slips are the most commonly encountered products under this subheading. The material must be woven - knitted slips fall under Chapter 61. Classification is based on the predominant fibre by weight in accordance with Note 2 to Section XI. A slip must be an undergarment intended to be worn beneath outerwear, as determined by its cut, finish and material.

Regulatory requirements and labelling

Slips under CN code 620819 are subject to the Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 regarding fibre composition labelling on a permanent label in the official language of the country of sale. As underwear worn directly against the skin, slips must comply with strict REACH requirements for azo dyes (30 mg/kg per amine), formaldehyde (75 mg/kg for skin contact) and fabric pH. Silk slips may contain residues from the silk degumming process - importers should verify REACH compliance. Cotton slips subjected to bleaching must meet requirements for chlorine residues. The GPSR Regulation (EU) 2023/988 imposes obligations regarding product safety, manufacturer or importer identification and technical documentation.

Customs procedures and trade

The customs declaration for slips under CN code 620819 should precisely specify the product type (slip, petticoat), dominant material (e.g. cotton, silk), intended gender and construction method (woven). Slips of natural materials represent a niche segment of the women's underwear market. Importers should verify current duty rates in TARIC and check the availability of tariff preferences. Silk slips from China may be subject to additional trade measures - verification in TARIC is recommended before each transaction. Customs value is determined based on transaction value, and documentation should include a commercial invoice, material specification and any proof of origin. Rules of origin for silk products may differ from those applicable to cotton products.

Cotton and silk slips - residual subheading

CN 6208 19 covers women's slips, petticoats and combinations of textile materials other than synthetic or artificial fibres, made from woven fabric. Cotton slips (everyday segment) and natural silk slips (luxury segment) dominate. Cotton slips are valued for hypoallergenic properties and breathability. The same labelling and chemical safety requirements apply as for subheading 6208 11.

Frequently asked questions

Is a cotton slip classified under CN code 620819?

Yes. Cotton is not a man-made fibre, so cotton woven slips fall under the residual subheading 620819. Code 620811 covers only slips of synthetic and artificial fibres. The product must be made from woven fabric, and cotton must constitute the predominant component by weight.

What substances are restricted in silk slips under REACH?

REACH restricts azo dyes (30 mg/kg per amine) and formaldehyde (75 mg/kg for skin contact). Silk slips may contain residues from the degumming process - soap, caustic soda or enzymes. These substances themselves are not restricted under REACH, but their residues may affect the pH of the product.

Do linen slips require special labelling?

No special labelling beyond the standard requirements of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 is required. Linen should be labelled with the generic name linen or flax, stating its weight percentage. Other labelling requirements are the same as for slips of other textile materials.

Is a cotton slip CN 6208 11 or CN 6208 19?

A women's cotton slip is classified under CN 6208 19 (other materials). CN 6208 11 is reserved for slips of synthetic or artificial fibres.
