Classification of boys' overalls under HS 6203.49
Classification under HS code 6203.49 for boys' overalls is based on the garment's design and the specific textile material used. This code specifically applies to 'bib and brace' overalls, which are garments that cover the lower part of the body and have a bib portion covering the chest, held up by straps over the shoulders. The classification 6203.49 is a residual category for garments made of textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers. This includes materials such as silk, flax (linen), hemp, or artificial fibers like rayon and acetate, provided they are woven and not knitted. The distinction between woven and knitted is critical, as knitted overalls fall under Chapter 61. Furthermore, the garment must be designed for men or boys. The 'bib and brace' design is a functional identifier that separates these from standard trousers or breeches. Under the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), the material composition is the deciding factor once the garment type is established as a woven lower-body garment with a bib.

Codes often confused with 6203.49
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 6203.42, which is reserved for cotton overalls, and 6203.43, which covers synthetic fiber overalls. Because cotton and synthetics are the most common materials for children's workwear, 6203.49 is often used in error for these items. Additionally, knitted overalls are frequently misclassified here instead of under 6103.49. Another confusion arises with 6203.41, which is specific to wool or fine animal hair.

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).
