Product classification
HS code for Felt garments: 6210.10
Garments, of felt or non-wovens (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of felt garments under HS 6210.10
Felt garments are classified under HS code 6210.10, which specifically covers garments made of fabrics of heading 56.02 (felt) or 56.03 (non-wovens). This classification is a prime example of the HS system prioritizing material construction over the specific type of garment. Whether the item is a coat, a protective suit, or a specialized vest, if the primary material is felt and it is not knitted or crocheted, it falls here. This heading is part of Chapter 62, which deals with articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted. The felt used in these garments is typically produced by interlocking fibers rather than weaving yarns. This code is particularly important for industrial safety wear and certain traditional or high-fashion apparel where felted wool or synthetic fibers provide the necessary structure and thermal properties. It is essential to verify that the garment is not made of felted *knitted* fabric, as that would move the classification to Chapter 61.

Codes often confused with 6210.10
Common mistake. Felt garments are often misclassified under general garment codes like 6201 or 6202 (coats and jackets). However, Note 5 to Chapter 62 dictates that garments made of felt or non-wovens must be classified in 6210. Another common error is confusing them with 6113.00, which covers garments made of knitted or crocheted fabrics that have been felted after production (fulling).

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).
