Dresses, women's or girls', of synthetic fibres (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of girls' synthetic dress under HS 6204.43
The classification of girls' synthetic dresses under HS code 6204.43 is determined by the garment's construction as a woven article and its primary material composition of synthetic fibers. Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System covers all apparel that is not knitted or crocheted. A "dress" is defined in the HS Explanatory Notes as a garment intended to cover the body, starting from the shoulders and usually extending to the knees or below. For classification under 6204.43, the fabric must be woven, meaning it is formed by interlacing yarns at right angles. The fiber content must be predominantly synthetic, such as polyester, acrylic, or nylon. This code excludes dresses made of artificial fibers (like rayon or acetate), which are classified under 6204.44, and those made of natural fibers like cotton (6204.42) or silk (6204.41). The classification process involves verifying the fabric type and the percentage of each fiber present in the garment. This is crucial because duty rates can vary significantly based on fiber content. Additionally, the garment must be designed for women or girls; similar woven dresses for infants are classified under heading 6209. Accurate classification ensures that importers comply with trade regulations, including any applicable anti-dumping duties or textile quotas.

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).
