HS Code for Boys' synthetic ensemble
HS code 6203.23 is used for men's or boys' ensembles made of synthetic fibers that are not knitted or crocheted. An "ensemble" is defined in the HS nomenclature as a set of garments (other than suits) composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale. This typically includes a combination of an upper garment (like a shirt, waistcoat, or jacket) and a lower garment (trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, or shorts). For classification under 6203.23, the fabric must be woven and the predominant fiber must be synthetic, such as polyester or poly-acrylic. All components of an ensemble must be of the same fabric construction, style, color, and composition; they must also be of corresponding or compatible size to be worn by the same person. This code is distinct from suits (6203.1x) because the upper garment in an ensemble does not have to be a suit jacket or blazer, and the construction requirements for the jacket are less stringent.

Common Misclassification
This code is often confused with 6203.12 (synthetic suits). A suit has a specific definition involving a jacket with a particular sleeve and pocket construction. If the set does not meet the "suit" definition, it falls here. It is also confused with 6103.23, which is for knitted ensembles. If the components are sold separately and not "put up for retail sale" as a set, they must be classified individually under their respective headings (e.g., 6205 for shirts and 6203 for trousers).
