HS Code for Artificial fiber knit dress

HS code 6104.44 is used for women's or girls' dresses made of artificial fibers that have been knitted or crocheted. In the context of the Harmonized System, "artificial fibers" refers to fibers like viscose rayon, acetate, or triacetate, which are derived from natural polymers like cellulose. This is a critical distinction from "synthetic fibers" like polyester or nylon, which are entirely man-made from petroleum bases. The "knitted or crocheted" requirement places the item in Chapter 61, which covers apparel made from such fabrics, whereas woven garments are found in Chapter 62. The classification process involves identifying the predominant fiber by weight and the construction method of the fabric to ensure the garment is placed in the correct category for trade statistics and tariff application.

Common Misclassification
