HS Code for Girls' knitted jacket

The HS code 6104.39 applies to girls' knitted jackets made from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers. This includes materials like silk, linen, ramie, or artificial fibers like viscose. Because the garment is knitted or crocheted, it is placed in Chapter 61. Heading 6104 covers a variety of women's and girls' garments, including suits, ensembles, jackets, and blazers. The classification of a "jacket" requires the garment to cover the upper body and usually have a full front opening, designed to be worn over other clothing. If the jacket is made of a blend, the material that predominates by weight determines the classification. If no single material predominates, the garment is classified under the heading that occurs last in numerical order among those which equally merit consideration. However, 6104.39 often serves as the residual category for specialized or luxury fibers in the knitted jacket category. This code is vital for tracking the trade of high-end or alternative fiber apparel.

Common Misclassification

This code is frequently confused with 6104.31 (wool), 6104.32 (cotton), or 6104.33 (synthetic fibers). It is also often confused with 6110, which covers sweaters and cardigans. The distinction between a knitted jacket (6104) and a cardigan (6110) can be subtle and often depends on the garment's structure, weight, and intended use as an outer layer versus a mid-layer.
