Classification of girls' knitted skirt under HS 6104.52

The classification of a girls' knitted skirt under HS code 6104.52 is determined by several factors including the method of construction, the intended user, and the fiber content. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) for 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 6104 encompasses women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. The subheading 6104.52 is reserved for skirts and divided skirts made specifically of cotton. To qualify for this code, the garment must be constructed using a knitting or crocheting process, which provides elasticity and a distinct looped structure, and the predominant weight of the textile material must be cotton. If the garment is intended for girls, it typically follows sizing standards for children, though the HS code covers both women's and girls' sizes under the same numerical prefix.

Codes often confused with 6104.52

Common mistake. A frequent point of confusion occurs between HS code 6104.52 and 6204.52. The primary difference lies in the construction: 6104.52 is for knitted or crocheted items, while 6204.52 is for woven garments. Additionally, if the skirt is made of synthetic fibers rather than cotton, it must be classified under 6104.53. If the item is part of a set that meets the legal definition of an 'ensemble,' it might be moved to 6104.22.

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).
