How customs classifies swimwear
6211.12 'Swimwear: women's or girls'' (woven) and 6112.4 (knit: .41 synthetic, .49 other textile materials incl. cotton/viscose/silk). Swimwear is identified by design (made to be worn for swimming); the beach cover-ups, sarongs and robes worn over it are NOT swimwear. UK 6112.41/.49 splits 'containing >=5% rubber threads' (8%) vs other (12%). Fabric: cotton. CONSTRUCTION: woven -> Chapter 62 (not knitted or crocheted). Blends: classify by the fibre predominating by weight (Section XI Subheading Note 2(A) -> Note 2 to Section XI; tie = heading last in numerical order).
Knitted or woven decides the chapter: knitted and crocheted garments are Chapter 61, woven garments Chapter 62. For blends, the fibre that is largest by weight decides (Section XI, Subheading Note 2).
