What HS 6208.19 covers
This HS code covers women's and girls' slips and petticoats crafted from non-knitted textile materials other than man-made fibers. This primarily includes natural fibers like cotton, silk, or linen. These garments are valued for their breathability, comfort, and luxurious feel, especially silk, and often cater to a more discerning consumer base.

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).
