HS Code for Girls' slips
HS code 6208.19 covers girls' slips and petticoats that are woven and made of textile materials other than man-made fibers. This classification falls under Chapter 62, which excludes knitted or crocheted items. Heading 6208 is dedicated to various types of women's and girls' undergarments and nightwear. Slips and petticoats are defined as undergarments worn beneath dresses or skirts to provide a smooth shape, prevent transparency, or add volume. Subheading 6208.19 is a specific category for these items when they are constructed from natural fibers such as cotton, silk, or linen, but specifically excludes those made from synthetic or artificial fibers (which fall under 6208.11). The classification process requires a clear determination of the fabric's construction (woven) and a fiber analysis to ensure that man-made fibers do not constitute the predominant weight. For girls' apparel, the items are often smaller in scale but must meet the same technical definitions as adult garments to be classified under this heading.

Common Misclassification
A common misclassification occurs with 6208.11, which is the code for slips made of man-made fibers like polyester or nylon. Additionally, if the slip is knitted rather than woven, it must be classified under 6108.19. Confusion also arises with 6204.59 if a petticoat is designed to be worn as an outer garment rather than an undergarment.
