Classification of girls' slips under HS 6208.19
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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
