APPENDIX 4

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, 125 A, 125B,

2.

3.

4.

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.

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.

Where the expression "babies' garments" is used, this is meant to cover garments up to and including commercial
size 86.
