Classification of girls' knit slip under HS 6108.19
The classification of a girls' knit slip under HS code 6108.19 is determined by several factors including the garment's intended use, its construction method, and its material composition. According to the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System, products are classified based on the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. Chapter 61 specifically covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Within this chapter, heading 6108 is dedicated to women's or girls' slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. The subheading 6108.19 is a specific designation for slips and petticoats made from textile materials other than man-made fibers. This includes natural fibers such as cotton, silk, or wool. To qualify for this code, the garment must be an undergarment designed to be worn beneath a dress or skirt to provide a smooth silhouette or extra warmth. The knitting process distinguishes it from woven garments in Chapter 62. Furthermore, the fiber content must be verified; if the slip is made of synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, it would move to subheading 6108.11. The classification also considers the size and cut of the garment to ensure it is categorized as "girls'" rather than "infants'" (which would fall under 6111). Proper documentation of the fiber percentage is essential for customs clearance to justify the use of 6108.19 over other subheadings. This code is also distinct from 6108.29, which covers briefs and panties of other textile materials, highlighting the importance of identifying the specific type of undergarment.

Codes often confused with 6108.19

Another common mistake is using 6208.19, which applies to woven slips rather than knitted ones. Additionally, if the garment is intended for infants (typically defined by height or age), it must be classified under 6111.90 rather than 6108.19.

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).
