HS code for Girls' cotton suit: 6204.12
Suits, women's or girls', of cotton (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of girls' cotton suit under HS 6204.12
HS code 6204.12 applies to girls' cotton suits that are woven (not knitted or crocheted). Under the Harmonized System, a "suit" is defined by Note 3(a) to Chapter 62 as a set of garments composed of two or three pieces made up in the same external surface material. This typically includes one garment designed to cover the upper body (a suit coat or jacket) and one or two garments designed to cover the lower body (a skirt, divided skirt, or trousers). For classification under 6204.12, the components must be of matching fabric, color, and construction, and they must be of a size that allows them to be worn together by the same person. The material must be predominantly cotton. If the set does not meet the strict definition of a "suit"—for example, if the pieces are sold together but are made of different fabrics—it may be classified as an "ensemble" under a different subheading.

Codes often confused with 6204.12
Common mistake. A common misclassification is HS code 6104.19, which covers knitted suits. Since 6204.12 is for woven items, the fabric construction is the primary differentiator. Another frequent error is confusing a "suit" with an "ensemble" (HS code 6204.22). An ensemble consists of several garments that are not necessarily matching in fabric but are put up for retail sale together. If the jacket and trousers are not of the same identical fabric, the set must be classified as an ensemble under 6204.22 rather than a suit under 6204.12.

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).
