What determines the tariff number?
- Material composition. Hoodies made from cotton, synthetic fibres, or other materials are classified differently under Swiss law. Material is a primary factor in determining the correct tariff code.
- Knit or woven construction. Whether your hoodie is knitted or woven significantly affects classification. Swiss customs nomenclature explicitly distinguishes between these production methods.
- Intended use (gender/age category). Hoodies designed for men, women, children, or unisex wear fall under different tariff categories. The intended wearer is a decisive classification criterion.
