HS Code for Girls' cotton knit ensemble

A girls' cotton knit ensemble is classified under HS code 6104.22. This classification is driven by the manufacturing method—knitting or crocheting—which places the item in Chapter 61. Heading 6104 covers knitted or crocheted suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, and other similar garments for women or girls. The term "ensemble" refers to a set of garments made from the same knitted fabric, intended to be worn together and sold as a single unit. Subheading 6104.22 specifically identifies cotton as the predominant fiber. Common examples include knitted tracksuit sets or jersey-based matching sets. If the garments were sold separately or made of different fabrics, they would not qualify as an ensemble under this specific code. This classification is vital for customs authorities to track the import of knitted goods, which often have different trade regulations compared to woven apparel.

Products Included

• Girls' knitted cotton tracksuit sets
• Matching jersey top and leggings sets (sold together)
• Knitted cotton sweater and skirt sets
• Cotton knit top and shorts ensembles

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification is using 6204.22, which is for woven cotton ensembles. If the fabric is not knitted, it belongs in Chapter 62. Another error is 6104.23, which is for ensembles made of synthetic fibers like polyester. Additionally, if the set is for a baby (generally up to 86 cm), it must be classified under 6111.20. If the items in the set are not made of the same fabric construction, they must be classified as individual items rather than an ensemble.
