HS Code 6204.44 – Dresses; women's or girls', of artificial fibres (not knitted or crocheted)
HS code 6204.44 is the 6-digit subheading for dresses, women's or girls', of artificial fibres (not knitted or crocheted). It is used for viscose maxi dress, modal slip dress, lyocell shirtdress, rayon wrap dress and cupro blend evening dress.
What HS 6204.44 covers
This HS code specifically covers women's and girls' dresses made from artificial fibers, excluding knitted or crocheted varieties. Artificial fibers, such as rayon (viscose), modal, and lyocell, are regenerated cellulose fibers that offer a luxurious feel, excellent drape, and breathability, often mimicking natural fibers like silk or cotton. This segment caters to consumers seeking elegant and comfortable dresses with a sophisticated aesthetic. Importers typically include mid-to-high-end fashion brands, department stores, and specialty boutiques. Exporting nations with strong chemical fiber production and garment manufacturing, such as China, India, and Turkey, are prominent in this trade. Key considerations for traders involve understanding the specific type of artificial fiber, its care requirements, sustainability aspects of its production (e.g., closed-loop systems for lyocell), and compliance with textile labeling regulations. The unique properties of artificial fibers make these dresses a distinct and valued category in global apparel trade.

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).
