If knitted or crocheted fabric
Knitted or crocheted garments fall under Chapter 61, excluding them from woven Chapter 62 articles.
If men's size, not specifically boys'
Garments not identifiable as boys' (e.g., larger sizes) default to women's/girls' or men's headings per chapter notes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic fibers via lab testing to confirm Chapter 62 classification
• Label garments clearly as 'boys'' with right-over-left closure if applicable, per chapter notes on gender identification
• Avoid classifying as swimwear; ensure no water-resistant coatings or swim-specific designs to prevent reclassification
