CHAPTER 61
Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted
Notes:

1. This Chapter applies only to made up knitted or crocheted articles.

2. This Chapter does not cover :

(a) Goods of heading No. 62.12;

(b) Worn clothing or other worn articles of heading No. 63.09; or

(c) Orthopaedic appliances, surgical belts, trusses or the like (heading No.90.21).

3. For the purposes of heading Nos. 61.03 and 61.04:
(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 or 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 No. 61.07,61.08 or 61.09), 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-
All the components of a "ski ensemble" must be made up in a fabric of the same texture, style and and composition whether or not of the same colour ;they must be of corresponding or compatible size.

8.Garments which are, prima facie , classifiable both in heading No.61.13and in other headings of this Chapter, excluding heading No. 61.11,are to be classified in heading No. 61.13.

9.Garments of this Chapter  designed for left over right closure at the front shall be regarded as men's or boy's garments, and those designed for right over left closure at the front as women's or girls' garments. These provisions do not apply where the cut of the garment clearly indicates that it is designed for one or other of the sexes.

Garments which cannot be identified as either men's or boys' garments or as women's or girls' garments are to be classified in the headings covering women's or girls' garments.

10. Articles of this Chapter may be made of metal thread.
