HS code for Girls' synthetic knit ensemble: 6104.23

Ensembles, women's or girls', of synthetic fibres, knitted or crocheted.

Classification of girls' synthetic knit ensemble under HS 6104.23

The HS code 6104.23 is designated for women's or girls' ensembles made of synthetic fibers that are knitted or crocheted. This classification is part of Chapter 61, which encompasses all apparel and clothing accessories that are created through knitting or crocheting processes, distinguishing them from the woven items in Chapter 62. An ensemble, as defined by the Harmonized System, must consist of several garments made of the same fabric, designed to be worn together, and sold as a single unit. For girls' clothing, the synthetic fibers—most commonly polyester, nylon, or elastane blends—must be the primary component. The classification relies on the technical definition of "knitted," which involves interlocking loops of yarn. This code is essential for customs authorities to apply the correct tariff rates, which often differ significantly between knitted and woven textiles due to different trade agreements and domestic industry protections.

Codes often confused with 6104.23

Common mistake. A frequent misclassification is using 6204.23 instead of 6104.23. The former is for woven ensembles, while the latter is for knitted ones. Another common error involves the definition of an ensemble; if the pieces are made of different fabrics (e.g., a knitted top with a woven skirt), they cannot be classified under 6104.23 and must be classified separately. Furthermore, if the set is intended for athletic use, such as a tracksuit, it might be classified under 6112.12, which specifically covers tracksuits of synthetic fibers. Distinguishing between a general-purpose ensemble and a specialized tracksuit is a common challenge for importers.

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).
