2008 Clothing Requirements

The state carries out automatic export license management for some textiles exported to the United States, the European Union and Hongkong.

Because the export automatic license has strict requirements for the HS coding of textiles and does not allow any deviation, some textile exporting enterprises have consulted the Ningbo Customs on the classification of textiles.

One of the more common problems is how to classify 50% cotton and 50% chemical fiber garments.

According to the general rules for commodity classification, the garments made of two or more than two materials should be classified according to the main materials.

Therefore, the classification of cotton and chemical fiber blended garments should first understand the proportion of cotton and chemical fiber in each of the total materials, such as the proportion of cotton is more than 50%, then classify and declare according to the cotton garments.

If the material of the garment is 50% cotton and 50% chemical fiber, then according to the general rule of commodity classification, the principle of classification from behind is applied.

Since the tax number of chemical fiber clothing is ranked in cotton clothing, in this case, it should be declared according to the classification of chemical fiber clothing and apply for the export automatic license with the corresponding tax number.

Some textile exporting enterprises have not been familiar with the classification of the 50% cotton and 50% chemical fiber garments. According to the classification of cotton garments, they have applied for the "export automatic license". As a result, when the declaration was made to the customs, the goods failed to deliver in time because the license did not meet the requirements.

Recently, a Ningbo company declared to Ningbo customs that 50% cotton and 50% chemical fiber pullovers valued at more than 2 million yuan could not be cleared smoothly because of the above reasons.

To this end, Ningbo customs reminds textile exporting enterprises that if some of the textiles exported to the United States, the European Union and Hongkong are made of 50% cotton and 50% chemical fiber, they should be declared according to the classification of chemical fiber clothing and apply for the export automatic license with the corresponding tax number.
