HS Code 6203.23 – Ensembles; men's or boys', of synthetic fibres (not knitted or crocheted)
HS code 6203.23 is the 6-digit subheading for ensembles, men's or boys', of synthetic fibres (not knitted or crocheted). It is used for polyester tracksuits (non-knitted), nylon windbreaker sets, acrylic blend leisure suits, polyester uniform sets and spandex blend athletic ensembles.
What HS 6203.23 covers
This category covers men's and boys' ensembles crafted from synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic, and specifically excludes knitted or crocheted items. These ensembles, often comprising matching jackets and trousers or other coordinated pieces, are popular for their durability, wrinkle resistance, and often lower cost compared to natural fibers. They are widely traded internationally, with major importers being discount retailers, sportswear brands, and uniform suppliers in various countries. Exporters are typically large-scale textile manufacturers in regions known for synthetic fiber production and garment assembly. Critical aspects for trade include precise declaration of synthetic fiber composition, adherence to flammability standards, and navigating anti-dumping duties that may apply to certain synthetic textiles. The versatility and performance characteristics of synthetic ensembles make them a go-to choice for activewear, casual wear, and professional uniforms.

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).
