Section XI: Textiles and textile articles · Chapter 62: Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted · Heading 6204: Women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear)
Why this code
Jeans are trousers made of denim, a woven twill fabric, so they are not knitted (Chapter 61 excluded) and fall in Chapter 62 (Note 1). They are women's garments, so heading 6204 applies, under 'Trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts'. Denim jeans are typically cotton-predominant, even with a little elastane or polyester. Section XI Subheading Note 2 and Note 2(A) assign the fibre that predominates by weight, giving 620462. The fabric is not coated, so heading 6210 does not apply. Heading 5211 covers fabric in the piece, not made-up garments (Section XI Note 8). Exact composition is unstated.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6, Chapter 62 Note 1, Section XI Note 2(A), Section XI Subheading Note 2, Section XI Note 8.

Information that would confirm the code
- What is the exact fibre composition (cotton % vs polyester/elastane/viscose)?
- Is the fabric woven denim or a knitted denim-look fabric?

Confidence 0.60. Women's denim jeans are ordinary trousers rather than recreational performance outerwear, so the 'Other' branch applies; the blue denim line fits denim trousers, though colour is not stated, so the Other-trousers line 6204628018 is the fallback and the choice warrants review.
