HS Code for Girls' suit

The classification of a girls' suit under HS code 6204.19 is governed by specific legal notes in the Harmonized System. According to Note 3(a) to Chapter 62, the term 'suit' means a set of garments composed of two or three pieces made up, in respect of their outer surface, in identical fabric. This set must include one garment designed to cover the lower part of the body (trousers, breeches, shorts, a skirt, or a divided skirt) and one jacket or blazer to cover the upper part. If several separate components to cover the lower part are presented together (e.g., trousers and a skirt), the skirt or trousers will be considered part of the suit, while the other is classified separately. HS code 6204.19 is the residual category for suits made of 'other textile materials,' meaning materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers. This typically includes suits made of silk, linen, hemp, or certain artificial fibers. The garments must be woven; knitted suits are classified in Chapter 61.

Products Included

• Girls' woven silk suits (jacket and skirt)
• Linen trouser suits for girls
• Hemp-fiber blazer and short sets
• Ramie-based formal suits for children
• Woven suits of other vegetable textile fibers

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is 6204.12 (cotton suits) or 6204.13 (synthetic fiber suits). Another common error involves 'ensembles' (6204.29). Unlike suits, ensembles consist of several garments made up in identical fabric but do not necessarily include a jacket; they are put up for retail sale as a set. If the fabrics of the top and bottom do not match exactly, the items must be classified separately.
