Classification of boys' cotton ensemble under HS 6203.22
The classification of boys' cotton ensembles under HS code 620322 is strictly governed by the Legal Notes to Section XI and Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System. Specifically, Note 3(b) to Chapter 62 defines an ensemble as a set of garments (other than suits) composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale. This means the components must be of the same color, structure, and composition. For this code, the primary material must be cotton, and the construction must be woven, not knitted or crocheted. Woven fabrics are created by interlacing two sets of yarns at right angles, which provides a stable, non-stretch structure compared to knits. The ensemble must include one garment designed to cover the upper body and one or two different garments designed to cover the lower body. If the garments are not sold together as a single unit for retail sale, or if they are made of different fabrics, they must be classified separately under their respective headings, such as 6203.42 for trousers. Furthermore, if the set meets the definition of a 'suit' under Note 3(a), it would be classified under 6203.12 instead. Accurate classification requires verifying the fabric type, the intended user (boys), and the packaging of the items to ensure they are presented as a single unit for the consumer.

Codes often confused with 6203.22
Common mistake. This code is frequently confused with HS code 610322, which covers ensembles that are knitted or crocheted. The primary distinction lies in the fabric construction. Additionally, if the garments are not made of identical fabric or are not packaged together for retail sale, they must be classified individually under codes like 620342 (trousers) or 620520 (shirts). Confusion also occurs with HS code 620312 if the set is considered a formal suit.

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).
