What HS 6204.61 covers
This HS code covers women's and girls' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts made from wool or fine animal hair, specifically excluding knitted or crocheted versions. These garments are often associated with higher-end fashion, tailored wear, or specialized outdoor/winter apparel due to the natural insulating properties and luxurious feel of wool and fine animal hair (like cashmere or alpaca). International trade in these items involves luxury fashion brands, high-street retailers, and specialty outdoor wear companies as importers, primarily serving markets in colder climates or those with a strong demand for premium textiles. Exporters are typically countries with established wool processing industries or those specializing in high-quality garment manufacturing, such as Italy, China, and some European nations. Key considerations include verifying fiber composition, ensuring ethical sourcing of animal fibers, and complying with specific textile labeling and import regulations. The market is influenced by seasonal fashion trends and consumer preference for natural, high-quality materials.

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).
