HS Code 6114.20 – Garments; of cotton, knitted or crocheted, n.e.c. in chapter 61
HS code 6114.20 is the 6-digit subheading for garments, of cotton, knitted or crocheted, n.e.c. in chapter 61. It is used for cotton knit cardigans, cotton knit vests, cotton knit skirts, cotton knit shorts and cotton knit jumpsuits.
What HS 6114.20 covers
This code encompasses a broad category of knitted or crocheted cotton garments that aren't specifically classified elsewhere in Chapter 61. It's a catch-all for various apparel items made from cotton yarn using knitting or crocheting techniques, reflecting the versatility and widespread use of cotton in the textile industry. International trade in these goods is significant, driven by both fast fashion trends and demand for durable, comfortable everyday wear. Major importers often include developed economies like the US, EU nations, and Japan, which have high consumer purchasing power and a preference for natural fibers. Exporters are typically countries with strong textile manufacturing capabilities, such as China, India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, benefiting from lower labor costs and established supply chains. Key things to know include the importance of fiber composition, garment construction, and end-use in determining classification, as slight variations can lead to different HS codes. The "n.e.c." (not elsewhere specified) aspect means careful consideration is needed to ensure the garment doesn't fit a more specific heading.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
