HS Code for Boys' cotton knit jacket

The HS code 610332 applies to boys' jackets and blazers made of cotton that have been produced through knitting or crocheting. This classification is governed by the rules of Chapter 61, which covers all knitted apparel. Unlike woven jackets, these garments possess the characteristic stretch and loop structure of knitwear, such as jersey or interlock fabrics. To fall under 610332, the jacket must be designed for men or boys and the predominant material must be cotton. The distinction between a jacket and a cardigan or pullover (heading 6110) is a critical technical point; jackets under 6103 are generally more structured, often featuring a full front opening and intended as outer-layer formal or semi-formal wear. The classification ensures that the specific manufacturing technique—knitting—is recognized, as it carries different tariff implications than woven counterparts. The garment must not extend below the mid-thigh to remain within this heading. If the garment is designed for protection against the elements (like a wind-breaker) and is knitted, it might still fall here unless it meets the specific criteria for overcoats in 6101.

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is with HS code 620332, which is for woven cotton jackets. Another common error involves HS code 611020, which covers cotton pullovers, cardigans, and similar knitted items. If the garment lacks the structure of a blazer or jacket, it likely belongs in 6110. Additionally, knitted overcoats or wind-jackets may be misclassified here instead of under 610120.
