Classification of girls' dress under HS 6204.49
Girls' dresses made from woven textile materials other than cotton, wool, or synthetic fibers are classified under HS code 6204.49. Heading 6204 encompasses a wide range of women's and girls' garments, including suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. Subheading 6204.49 is a residual category for dresses made of "other textile materials," such as silk, linen, hemp, or artificial fibers not elsewhere specified, provided they are not knitted or crocheted. The classification depends on the primary component of the garment being a dress—defined as a one-piece garment covering the body from the shoulders to the legs. Accurate classification requires a detailed laboratory analysis of the fabric composition to confirm it does not fall under the more specific subheadings for wool (6204.41), cotton (6204.42), or synthetic fibers (6204.43). The garment must be woven; any knitted dress would be classified in Chapter 61.

Codes often confused with 6204.49
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 6104.49, which covers dresses made of "other textile materials" that are knitted or crocheted. Another common error is using 6204.42 (cotton) or 6204.43 (synthetic) when the material is actually a blend where another fiber predominates. If the dress is part of a set that meets the definition of an ensemble, it should be classified under 6204.29 instead. Proper fiber identification is essential to distinguish between 6204.49 and its more specific counterparts.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
