HS Code for Baby cotton romper

A baby cotton romper is classified under HS code 6111.20. Rompers are one-piece garments that cover both the upper body and the legs (partially or fully) and are intended for infants. The classification in 6111.20 is determined by the fact that the garment is knitted or crocheted and made primarily of cotton. Chapter 61 specifically handles knitted apparel. For a garment to be classified as a "baby" item, it must meet the size requirements set out in the legal notes of the HS nomenclature, typically covering children up to 86 cm in height. The use of cotton as the predominant fiber by weight directs the classification to the .20 subheading. Rompers are distinguished from bodysuits by having leg coverage, but both fall under the same heading if they meet the material and construction requirements.

Common Misclassification

Misclassification often occurs with HS code 6209.20, which applies to woven cotton rompers. If the fabric is a woven material like denim or poplin, it must be moved to Chapter 62. Another common mistake is using 6111.30 for rompers made of synthetic blends or fleece (if polyester-based). Furthermore, if the romper is intended for a child larger than the "baby" definition (over 86 cm), it must be classified under 6103 or 6104 as a suit or ensemble, depending on the design. It is also important not to confuse these with "garments made up of knitted fabrics of heading 5903, 5906 or 5907," which would fall under 6113.
