Classification of boys' cotton knit ensemble under HS 6103.22
Boys' cotton knit ensembles are classified under HS code 610322 because they are constructed using a knitting or crocheting process and consist of a coordinated set of garments. Chapter 61 of the Harmonized System is dedicated to apparel that is knitted or crocheted. According to Note 3(b) to Chapter 61, an ensemble is a set of garments made up of several pieces of the same fabric, put up for retail sale, and intended to be worn together. One piece must cover the upper body (excluding waistcoats) and another must cover the lower body (such as trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, or shorts). For this code, cotton must be the primary textile fiber by weight. The 'knit' aspect is the primary differentiator from Chapter 62, which covers woven goods. Knitted fabrics are formed by interlocking loops of yarn, providing significant stretch and flexibility. To qualify as an ensemble, the components must be of the same size and style, and the fabric must be identical in color and construction. If the items are sold separately, they lose their status as an ensemble and must be classified under their individual headings, such as 610342 for knitted trousers.

Codes often confused with 6103.22
Common mistake. This code is often confused with HS code 620322, which applies to woven cotton ensembles. It is also frequently confused with HS code 611211, which specifically covers tracksuits. If the set is intended for athletic use and meets the tracksuit definition, 611211 takes precedence. Additionally, if the pieces are not identical in fabric, they must be classified separately under codes like 610510 (shirts) or 610342 (trousers).

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).
