What determines the tariff number?
- Material composition. The base material is the primary classification factor. Hoodies made from wool or fine animal hair are classified differently than those made from cotton, synthetic fibres, or blended materials.
- Fine animal hair type. If your hoodie contains fine animal hair, the distinction between wool, cashmere, and other fine animal fibres is important – each category receives a different tariff number.
- Knit or warp construction. Hoodies are typically produced as knitted or warp-knitted garments. This manufacturing method is a key distinction in Swiss customs nomenclature for pullovers and similar outerwear.
