HS Code for Cotton skirts
HS code 6204.52 applies to women's or girls' skirts and divided skirts made of cotton. This code is part of Chapter 62, which encompasses articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are "not knitted or crocheted." This means the garments are constructed from woven fabrics. Heading 6204 is a comprehensive category for various women's garments, and subheading 6204.52 specifically targets skirts where cotton is the constituent material of the greatest weight. The term "divided skirts" refers to garments that, while having separate legs, are cut in such a way that they maintain the appearance of a skirt. This classification includes a wide range of styles, from formal office skirts to casual denim skirts, provided they are woven. The distinction between Chapter 62 (woven) and Chapter 61 (knitted) is critical; a cotton skirt made of jersey or interlock fabric would be classified under 6104.52 instead. Furthermore, the garment must be designed for women or girls; similar garments for men or boys (though rare for skirts) would be classified elsewhere, typically under heading 6217 or as "other" garments. If the skirt is part of a "suit" or "ensemble" as defined by the HS notes, it might be classified under the heading for the suit (6204.12 or 6204.22), but only if it meets the strict criteria for matching sets. For most individual retail items, 6204.52 is the correct designation.
