HS code for Boys' synthetic suit: 6203.12
Suits, men's or boys', of synthetic fibres (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of boys' synthetic suit under HS 6203.12
Classification of a boys' synthetic suit under HS code 6203.12 follows the strict definitions provided in the Section XI notes of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Chapter 62 encompasses articles of apparel that are woven, meaning they are not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6203 covers men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, and trousers. To qualify as a 'suit' under this heading, the product must consist of at least two pieces: a suit coat or jacket and a pair of trousers, shorts, or breeches. Crucially, the outer shell of these components must be made of the same fabric in terms of color, weave, and composition. Subheading 6203.12 is specific to suits where synthetic fibers, such as polyester or poly-viscose blends, predominate by weight. This classification is essential for ensuring the correct duty rates are applied, as synthetic suits often face different trade regulations than those made of natural fibers like wool or cotton. If the jacket and trousers do not match perfectly, the item may instead be classified as an 'ensemble' under a different subheading.

Codes often confused with 6203.12
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 6103.10, which is for knitted suits. Many modern boys' suits have a jersey-like feel but are still woven; if they are knitted, they must move to Chapter 61. Another error is using 6203.23, which is for ensembles. An ensemble consists of several garments that do not necessarily match in fabric construction like a suit does. Finally, 6203.11 is often mistakenly used, but that code is reserved for suits made of 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 that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
