The central issue is whether imported knitted girls' slips are classifiable as brassieres (CTH 6212) or as slips/petticoats of man-made fibres (CTH 61081110/62081100). Applying HSN Explanatory Notes and functional/structural tests, the authority found three decisive features-beginning above bust/at waist, shoulder straps, and absence of moulded cups/boning/support structures-establishing they are undergarments for modesty/layering, not body-support garments; consequently they do not fall under Heading 6212. As the goods are knitted man-made fibre slips, Rule 3(a) GRI favours the more specific heading 61081110 over 62081100, so they are classifiable under CTH 61081110. - AAR
