HS Code for Girls' cotton jacket

Girls' cotton jackets are classified under HS code 6204.32. This code is part of Chapter 62, which covers woven apparel. Heading 6204 includes jackets and blazers designed for women or girls. A jacket, in this context, is an outer garment designed to cover the upper part of the body, usually reaching to the hips or slightly below, and is typically open at the front with sleeves. Subheading 6204.32 specifically denotes that the primary material is cotton. This includes denim jackets, provided they are not classified as "babies' garments" under heading 6209. The distinction between a jacket and an overcoat (heading 6202) is often based on the length and the weight of the fabric, with jackets being shorter and generally lighter. Proper classification ensures that the correct tariff rates are applied, which can vary significantly between woven and knitted outerwear.

Common Misclassification

The most frequent error is using HS code 6104.32, which is for knitted or crocheted cotton jackets. If the jacket is made of a knit fabric like fleece or jersey, it must be in Chapter 61. Another common confusion is with 6202.92, which covers cotton wind-cheaters or anoraks. These are typically more utilitarian or weather-resistant than a standard jacket or blazer. Finally, if the jacket is for an infant (under 86 cm), it should be classified under 6209.20.
