Classification of baby cotton bodysuit under HS 6111.20
A baby cotton bodysuit is classified under HS code 6111.20. This classification is based on three primary criteria: the age/size of the wearer, the material composition, and the method of construction. Heading 6111 covers "babies' garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted." According to Chapter 61 Note 6(a), the expression "babies' garments" applies to garments for young children of a body height not exceeding 86 cm. The subheading 6111.20 specifically identifies garments made of cotton. Because bodysuits are typically made from jersey or interlock fabrics which are knitted, they fall under Chapter 61 rather than Chapter 62 (woven). The bodysuit is a one-piece garment designed to cover the torso, usually with an opening at the crotch for diaper changes, making it a quintessential baby garment under this code.

Codes often confused with 6111.20
Common mistake. Common misclassifications include HS code 6209.20, which is for babies' cotton garments that are woven rather than knitted. Another error is using 6111.30, which is for garments made of synthetic fibers (like polyester), or 6111.90 for other textile materials like wool or silk. Additionally, if the garment is sized for a child taller than 86 cm, it can no longer be classified in 6111 and must be moved to 6107, 6108, or 6109 depending on the specific design and gender of the child.

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).
