What HS 6112.20 covers
This HS code encompasses knitted or crocheted ski suits, which are specialized garments designed for warmth, flexibility, and protection during winter sports. These suits are crucial for skiers and snowboarders, providing insulation and comfort in cold, snowy conditions. International trade in ski suits is highly seasonal and geographically concentrated, with significant activity between countries boasting popular ski resorts and those with advanced textile manufacturing capabilities. Key considerations in trade include insulation properties, breathability, ergonomic design for athletic movement, and the integration of technical features. While 'ski suit' might imply outer layers, this code often covers base and mid-layers that are knitted or crocheted, forming part of a complete ski ensemble.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
