What HS 6209.90 covers
This HS code encompasses non-knitted or non-crocheted garments and clothing accessories for babies, made from textile materials other than cotton or synthetic fibres.

Importers often include high-income countries seeking premium or unique baby products, such as those in Western Europe and North America. Exporters may come from regions known for specific natural fiber production or high-end textile manufacturing, like Italy for wool or certain Asian countries for silk and bamboo. Trade in these items is often smaller in volume but higher in value, driven by consumer demand for specific material properties, sustainability, or luxury branding.

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).
