BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.
Classification scope and product features
CN code 620892 covers other women's or girls' garments of man-made fibres, made from woven fabrics, not covered by subheadings for slips and nightdresses. This code covers women's bathrobes, negligees, briefs, sleep suits and other undergarments of polyester, polyamide, viscose and other man-made fibre woven fabrics. The predominant component by weight must belong to the man-made fibre group. The material must be woven - knitted products fall under Chapter 61. Women's polyester satin bathrobes, polyamide chiffon negligees and viscose fabric briefs are typical products of this subheading.
Regulations and safety requirements
Importing women's garments under CN code 620892 requires compliance with the Textile Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011 on fibre composition labelling with correct generic fibre names. REACH restrictions apply to disperse azo dyes, formaldehyde, dyeing carriers and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) used in impregnation. Since underwear has direct skin contact, chemical substance limits are strict - formaldehyde should not exceed 75 mg/kg. The GPSR Regulation (EU) 2023/988 requires importers to conduct risk assessments covering chemical, mechanical and fire hazards. Synthetic fibres melt on contact with fire, posing additional hazards for bathrobes and negligees.
Customs procedures and international trade
The customs declaration for products under CN code 620892 should precisely describe the product type (bathrobe, negligee, briefs), dominant fibre (e.g. polyester, polyamide, viscose), intended gender and construction method (woven). Women's man-made fibre underwear is imported mainly from China, Vietnam and Cambodia. Importers should verify current duty rates and trade measures in TARIC. The GSP system and FTA agreements offer preferential rates subject to rules of origin compliance. Customs value is based on transaction value. Documentation should include a commercial invoice, material specification and proof of origin. Customs authorities may apply enhanced value controls for low unit-value undergarments.
Synthetic women's underwear - restricted substance controls
CN 6208 92 covers women's knickers, bathrobes and dressing gowns of synthetic or artificial fibres, made from woven fabric. Underwear of polyester, polyamide and viscose is subject to REACH and GPSR requirements. Special attention must be paid to dyes, finishing agents (softeners, antibacterials) and production process residues. Importers should implement quality control systems with regular laboratory testing of import batches for restricted substances.
Frequently asked questions
Is a women's polyester satin bathrobe classified under code 620892?
Yes. Women's bathrobes of polyester woven fabrics belong to code 620892, which covers other women's garments of man-made fibres. Polyester satin is a woven fabric of synthetic fibres, meeting both classification criteria - woven material and man-made fibre predominance.
What substances are restricted under REACH for polyamide underwear?
REACH restricts azo dyes (30 mg/kg per amine), formaldehyde (75 mg/kg for skin contact), dyeing carriers and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Polyamide dyed using acid methods may contain chromium VI residues if chrome dyes were used. Importers should require reports from accredited laboratories.
Does a polyamide chiffon negligee fall under code 620892?
Yes. A negligee is a women's undergarment, and polyamide chiffon is a woven fabric of synthetic fibres. The product meets the criteria for code 620892 - women's underwear of man-made fibre woven fabric, not covered by subheadings for slips (620811) or nightdresses (620822).
Is viscose underwear classified under CN 6208 91 or 6208 92?
Women's viscose underwear is classified under CN 6208 92, not 6208 91. Viscose (artificial fibre) is treated together with synthetic fibres in subheading 6208 92.
