HS code for Girls' protective clothing: 6210.50
Garments, women's or girls', n.e.c. in item no. 6210.3, of the fabrics of heading no. 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907 (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of girls' protective clothing under HS 6210.50
Girls' protective clothing classified under HS code 6210.50 involves garments made from specific technical fabrics. This classification is governed by Note 5 to Chapter 62, which states that garments which are, prima facie, classifiable both in heading 6210 and in other headings of this chapter (excluding 6209) are to be classified in heading 6210. This heading specifically covers garments made of fabrics of heading 5602 (felt), 5603 (nonwovens), 5903 (textile fabrics laminated with plastics), 5906 (rubberized textile fabrics), or 5907 (textile fabrics otherwise impregnated or coated). Subheading 6210.50 is designated for women's or girls' garments that do not fall under the specific categories of overcoats or similar items listed in 6210.30. The classification depends entirely on the nature of the fabric rather than the specific style of the garment. If a girl's jacket or protective suit is made from a woven fabric that has been coated with polyurethane or rubberized to provide protective qualities, it is pulled into this heading regardless of its outward appearance as a standard garment.

Codes often confused with 6210.50
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 6202.40 (girls' overcoats) or 6204.62 (girls' trousers). However, if the fabric is coated, covered, or laminated as defined in Chapter 59, 6210.50 takes precedence. It is also confused with 3926.20, which covers apparel made of plastic sheeting; 6210.50 only applies if there is a textile fabric base.

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).
