Classification of boys' wool knit jacket under HS 6103.31
The classification of a boys' wool knit jacket under HS code 610331 is determined by the construction method, the intended user, and the material composition. According to the General Rules for the Interpretation of the Harmonized System (GRI), products are classified based on the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Chapter 61 specifically covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Heading 6103 encompasses men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. Within this heading, subheading 610331 is reserved for jackets and blazers made of wool or fine animal hair. To qualify for this code, the garment must be constructed using interlocking loops of yarn (knitting) rather than the interlacing of warp and weft threads (weaving). Furthermore, the garment must be designed for men or boys; if the garment's cut or closure indicates it is for women or girls, it would fall under heading 6104. The term "wool" refers to the natural fiber from sheep or lambs, while "fine animal hair" includes fibers from alpaca, llama, vicuna, camel, or certain goats. Note that if the jacket has a front closure that fastens left over right, it is considered a male garment. If it lacks a specific closure but is cut in a manner clearly intended for boys, it remains in 6103. This code excludes garments that are padded or have a heavy lining for protection against the weather, which might be classified as overcoats under heading 6101. Additionally, the jacket must not be part of a suit or ensemble as defined by the chapter notes, as those would take precedence in classification. The distinction between a jacket and a cardigan is also relevant; a jacket is generally more structured and intended as an outer layer, whereas cardigans may sometimes be classified under 6110 if they do not meet the criteria for a blazer or jacket.

Codes often confused with 6103.31
Common mistake. This product is frequently confused with HS code 620331, which covers woven wool jackets. The primary difference lies in the fabric construction; Chapter 61 is for knits, while Chapter 62 is for wovens. It may also be misclassified under 610333 if the material is synthetic rather than wool, or 611011 if the garment is a simple sweater or cardigan rather than a structured jacket.

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).
