CHAPTER 54
MAN-MADE FILAMENTS; STRIP AND THE LIKE OF MAN-MADE TEXTILE MATERIALS
Notes
-
- Throughout the nomenclature, the term ‘man-made fibres’ means staple fibres and filaments of organic polymers produced by manufacturing processes, either:
- (a) by polymerisation of organic monomers to produce polymers such as polyamides, polyesters, polyolefins or polyurethanes, or by chemical modification of polymers produced by this process (for example, poly(vinyl alcohol) prepared by the hydrolysis of poly(vinyl acetate)); or
- (b) by dissolution or chemical treatment of natural organic polymers (for example, cellulose) to produce polymers such as cuprammonium rayon (cupro) or viscose rayon, or by chemical modification of natural organic polymers (for example, cellulose, casein and other proteins, or alginic acid), to produce polymers such as cellulose acetate or alginates.
The terms ‘synthetic’ and ‘artificial’, used in relation to fibres, mean: synthetic: fibres as defined at (a); artificial: fibres as defined at (b). Strip and the like of heading 5404 or 5405 are not considered to be man-made fibres.
The terms ‘man-made’, ‘synthetic’ and ‘artificial’ shall have the same meanings when used in relation to ‘textile materials’.
-
- Headings 5402 and 5403 do not apply to synthetic or artificial filament tow of Chapter 55.

CHAPTER 55
MAN-MADE STAPLE FIBRES
Note
-
- Headings 5501 and 5502 apply only to man-made filament tow, consisting of parallel filaments of a uniform length equal to the length of the tow, meeting the following specifications:
- (a) length of tow exceeding 2 m;
- (b) twist less than five turns per metre;
- (c) measuring per filament less than 67 decitex;
- (d) synthetic filament tow only: the tow must be drawn, that is to say, be incapable of being stretched by more than 100 % of its length;
- (e) total measurement of tow more than 20 000 decitex.
Tow of a length not exceeding 2 m is to be classified in heading 5503 or 5504.

CHAPTER 56
WADDING, FELT AND NONWOVENS; SPECIAL YARNS; TWINE, CORDAGE, ROPES AND CABLES AND ARTICLES THEREOF
Notes
-
- This chapter does not cover:
- (a) wadding, felt or nonwovens, impregnated, coated or covered with substances or preparations (for example, perfumes or cosmetics of Chapter 33, soaps or detergents of heading 3401, polishes, creams or similar preparations of heading 3405, fabric softeners of heading 3809), where the textile material is present merely as a carrying medium;
- (b) textile products of heading 5811;
- (c) natural or artificial abrasive powder or grain, on a backing of felt or nonwovens (heading 6805);
- (d) agglomerated or reconstituted mica, on a backing of felt or nonwovens (heading 6814);
- (e) metal foil on a backing of felt or nonwovens (generally, Section XIV or XV); or
- (f) sanitary towels (pads) and tampons, napkins and napkin liners for babies, and similar articles, of heading 9619.
-
- The term ‘felt’ includes needleloom felt and fabrics consisting of a web of textile fibres the cohesion of which has been enhanced by a stitch-bonding process using fibres from the web itself.
-
- Headings 5602 and 5603 cover, respectively, felt and nonwovens, impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber, whatever the nature of these materials (compact or cellular).
Heading 5603 also includes nonwovens in which plastics or rubber forms the bonding substance.
Headings 5602 and 5603 do not, however, cover:
- (a) felt impregnated, coated, covered or laminated with plastics or rubber, containing 50 % or less by weight of textile material or felt completely embedded in plastics or rubber (Chapter 39 or 40);
- (b) nonwovens, either completely embedded in plastics or rubber, or entirely coated or covered on both sides with such materials, provided that such coating or covering can be seen with the naked eye with no account being taken of any resulting change of colour (Chapter 39 or 40); or
- (c) plates, sheets or strip of cellular plastics or cellular rubber combined with felt or nonwovens, where the textile material is present merely for reinforcing purposes (Chapter 39 or 40).
-
- Heading 5604 does not cover textile yarn, or strip or the like of heading 5404 or 5405, in which the impregnation, coating or covering cannot be seen with the naked eye (usually Chapters 50 to 55); for the purpose of this provision, no account should be taken of any resulting change of colour.

CHAPTER 61
ARTICLES OF APPAREL AND CLOTHING ACCESSORIES, KNITTED OR CROCHETED
Notes
-
- This chapter applies only to made-up knitted or crocheted articles.
-
- This chapter does not cover:
- (a) goods of heading 6212;
- (b) worn clothing or other worn articles of heading 6309; or
- (c) orthopaedic appliances, surgical belts, trusses or the like (heading 9021).
-
- For the purposes of headings 6103 and 6104:
- (a) The term ‘suit’ means a set of garments composed of two or three pieces made up, in respect of their outer surface, in identical fabric and comprising:
- — one suit coat or jacket the outer shell of which, exclusive of sleeves, consists of four or more panels, designed to cover the upper part of the body, possibly with a tailored waistcoat in addition whose front is made from the same fabric as the outer surface of the other components of the set and whose back is made from the same fabric as the lining of the suit coat or jacket, and
- — one garment designed to cover the lower part of the body and consisting of trousers, breeches or shorts (other than swimwear), a skirt or a divided skirt, having neither braces nor bibs.
All of the components of a ‘suit’ must be of the same fabric construction, colour and composition; they must also be of the same style and of corresponding or compatible size. However, these components may have piping (a strip of fabric sewn into the seam) in a different fabric.
If several separate components to cover the lower part of the body are presented together (for example, two pairs of trousers or trousers and shorts, or a skirt or divided skirt and trousers), the constituent lower part shall be one pair of trousers or, in the case of women's or girls' suits, the skirt or divided skirt, the other garments being considered separately.
The term ‘suit’ includes the following sets of garments, whether or not they fulfil all the above conditions:
- — morning dress, comprising a plain jacket (cutaway) with rounded tails hanging well down at the back and striped trousers,
- — evening dress (tailcoat), generally made of black fabric, the jacket of which is relatively short at the front, does not close and has narrow skirts cut in at the hips and hanging down behind,
- — dinner jacket suits, in which the jacket is similar in style to an ordinary jacket (though perhaps revealing more of the shirt-front), but has shiny silk or imitation silk lapels.
- (b) The term ‘ensemble’ means a set of garments (other than suits and articles of heading 6107, 6108 or 6109), composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale, and comprising:
- — one garment designed to cover the upper part of the body, with the exception of pullovers which may form a second upper garment in the sole context of twin sets, and of waistcoats which may also form a second upper garment, and
- — one or two different garments, designed to cover the lower part of the body and consisting of trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, shorts (other than swimwear), a skirt or a divided skirt.
All of the components of an ensemble must be of the same fabric construction, style, colour and composition; they also must be of corresponding or compatible size. The term ‘ensemble’ does not apply to tracksuits or ski suits, of heading 6112.
-
- Headings 6105 and 6106 do not cover garments with pockets below the waist, with a ribbed waistband or other means of tightening at the bottom of the garment, or garments having an average of less than 10 stitches per linear centimetre in each direction counted on an area measuring at least 10 cm × 10 cm. Heading 6105 does not cover sleeveless garments.
-
- Heading 6109 does not cover garments with a drawstring, ribbed waistband or other means of tightening at the bottom of the garment.
-
- For the purposes of heading 6111:
- (a) the expression ‘babies' garments and clothing accessories’ means articles for young children of a body height not exceeding 86 cm;
- (b) articles which are prima facie classifiable both in heading 6111 and in other headings of this chapter are to be classified in heading 6111.
-
- For the purposes of heading 6112, ‘ski suits’ means garments or sets of garments which, by their general appearance and texture, are identifiable as intended to be worn principally for skiing (cross-country or alpine). They consist of either:
