Anatomy of 620630
You will declare against a longer local code that begins 620630: ten digits in the United Kingdom, eight in the European Union, and the first six the same everywhere. Which trailing digits apply is what the 5 rates below differ on.

What that costs: 620630 into Australia
An illustrative consignment of 620630 invoiced at AUD 2,000.00, priced in AUD because a threshold is set in the destination's currency and nothing here is converted.
| Goods value on the invoice | AUD 2,000.00 |
| International freight | AUD 120.00 |
| Cargo insurance | AUD 30.00 |
| Value the duty is charged on, FOB basis | AUD 2,000.00 |
| Duty at 5% | AUD 100.00 |
| Australia tax at 10%, charged on the value plus the duty | AUD 225.00 |
| Total, before commercial charges | AUD 2,475.00 |
And if the consignment were small
Australia relieves customs duty, GST and the Import Processing Charge on consignments at or under AUD 1,000. The 620630 shipment above is over that, so its duty is charged in full. The same code invoiced at exactly AUD 1,000 with no freight would be charged AUD 0.00 of duty and AUD 0.00 of tax, a total of AUD 1,000.00. The rate on the 620630 row has not changed; only the charge is relieved. The tax is not simply absent at that value: Australia collects it on the sale instead of at the border, so an overseas seller or marketplace above the registration threshold charges it at checkout. What the relief removes is the charge on arrival, not the tax.
Selling rather than buying? AUD 2,475.00 is what your buyer in Australia pays to take delivery of this consignment, yours to pay if you quote DDP and theirs if you quote DAP: Exporting to Australia sets out who collects it and what your invoice has to say.
An illustration, not a quotation: broker fees, handling and any trade remedy on the origin sit outside it. Price 620630 on your own numbers in the duty calculator.

Markets with no figure recorded
United States: United States splits 6206.30 into 3 tariff lines and they do not carry the same rate: the schedule returned 3.5 to 15.4%. A single percentage cannot represent that honestly, so no United States figure is recorded and the calculator falls back to its disclosed category average.
Re-check first: This subheading is cotton blouses only, and other fibres sit elsewhere in the heading. The United Kingdom charges its batik and residual lines identically, while the United States splits the same six digits into lines that disagree.
What falls under 620630
- Women's or girls' blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses of cotton, woven
- Woven cotton blouses, tunics and button through shirts cut for women
- Sleeveless and cap sleeve woven cotton upper body garments cut for women
What's specifically excluded
These look similar but belong under a different code:
Commonly confused with
620442: Cotton shirt dresses
Length and intended wear decide this. A long shirt cut garment made to be worn alone as a dress is 6204.42; a tunic worn over separate legwear stays a blouse. The way the range is merchandised, and whether the garment is sold with a belt, both bear on it.
620520: Men's cotton shirts
Menswear and womenswear split at the heading, so a nominally unisex woven cotton shirt has to land somewhere. The chapter notes send garments not identifiable as either to the womenswear heading, which is here, and the button side is the usual practical indicator.
Classification & cost note
Heading 6206 covers blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses together, so the fine distinctions the fashion trade draws between them do not matter here, which removes an argument importers expect to have. What does matter is the two boundaries either side. Downwards, against knitted tops: a woven blouse is 6206 and a knitted one leaves for Chapter 61 entirely, so a range in both fabrics spans two chapters. Upwards, against dresses: length and whether the garment is made to be worn alone. There is also a small but persistent trap in womenswear generally, which is that the chapter notes resolve genuinely unisex garments into the womenswear heading by default, so a unisex range does not get split down the middle and does not get to choose the lower rate.
Typical products: Woven cotton blouses with button fronts · Cotton poplin shirts cut for women · Chambray and denim shirt blouses · Sleeveless woven cotton tops · Cotton lawn tunics · Oversized cotton overshirts for women · Broderie anglaise summer blouses · Peplum hem cotton tops
What the notes to section XI say
Chapter 62 sits in section XI, textiles and textile articles, where a section note governs every chapter in the section and applies before the heading notes below; the 10 reaching chapter 62 name no heading this site holds a code under, and they are quoted whole on the chapter 62 page, read from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/sections/11 on 2026-09-08.
What the nomenclature says about heading 6206
620630 is a subheading of 6206, women's or girls' blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses , and it is the only code this site holds under that heading.
One numbered note to chapter 62 takes heading 6206 as its own subject, and it is quoted below in full, as published.
Note 4 to chapter 62
Headings 6205 and 6206 do not cover garments with pockets below the waist, with a ribbed waistband or other means of tightening at the bottom of the garment. Heading 6205 does not cover sleeveless garments.
“Shirts” and “shirt-blouses” are garments designed to cover the upper part of the body, having long or short sleeves and a full or partial opening starting at the neckline. “Blouses” are loose-fitting garments also designed to cover the upper part of the body but may be sleeveless and with or without an opening at the neckline. “Shirts”, “shirt-blouses” and “blouses” may also have a collar.
Read from the notes to chapter 62 published in the UK Trade Tariff by HM Revenue and Customs, at https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/chapters/62, with the heading title from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/headings/6206, on 2026-09-07, with the whole layer and the reason a heading note is a chapter note set out on the chapter 62 page. These notes are part of the international text of the Harmonized System, so the rule is the same whichever destination a shipment is going to, and it decides classification and never a rate.
Questions about 620630
Does the tariff distinguish a blouse from a shirt?
Not at this heading. Heading 6206 covers blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses together, so the distinctions the fashion trade draws between them do not change the code.
When is a long shirt a dress instead?
When it is cut and sold to be worn on its own as a dress. A tunic worn over separate legwear remains a blouse, and how the range is merchandised is the practical evidence.
Where do unisex woven shirts go?
To the womenswear heading. The chapter notes provide that garments not identifiable as men's or women's are classified as women's, so a unisex range defaults here rather than being split.
Is a camisole a blouse?
It depends on construction. A woven camisole made as an outer garment is classified with blouses, while one made as underwear or as a slip belongs with undergarments. Narrow straps alone do not settle it; lining, finish and how the range is sold do.
