ANNEX  IB

1. This  Annex  covers  textile  raw  materials  (categories  128  and  154),  textile  products  other  than  those  of
wool  and  fine  animal  hair,  cotton  and  man-made  fibres,  as  well  as  man-made  fibres  and  filaments  and
yarns  of  categories  124,  125A,  125B,  126,  127A  and  127B.

2. Without  prejudice  to  the  rules  for  the  interpretation  of  the  combined  nomenclature,  the  wording  of  the
description  of  goods  is  considered  to  be  of  indicative  value  only,  since  the  products  covered  by  each
category  are  determined,  within  this  Annex,  by  CN  codes.  Where  there  is  an  “ex”  symbol  in  front  of  a
CN code, the products covered in each category are determined by the scope of the CN code and by that
of  the  corresponding  description.

3. Garments  which  are  not  recognizable  as  being  garments  for  men  or  boys  or  as  being  garments  for

women  or  girls  are  classified  with  the  latter.

4. Where  the  expression  “babies’  garments”  is  used,  this  is  meant  to  cover  garments  up  to  and  including

commercial  size  86.
