HS Code for Girls' wool dress

Girls' wool dresses are classified under HS code 6204.41. This classification is specific to woven dresses where wool or fine animal hair is the predominant textile material by weight. Under the Harmonized System, "wool" refers to the natural fiber grown by sheep or lambs, while "fine animal hair" includes fibers from animals like alpaca, cashmere goat, or vicuna. To be classified as a dress, the garment must be designed to cover the body from the shoulders and typically extend to the knees or lower. The "woven" requirement is critical; it excludes sweaters or jersey-knit dresses, which are classified in Chapter 61. Wool dresses are often used for formal wear or school uniforms due to their durability and thermal properties. The classification process requires verifying that the wool content exceeds the weight of any other single fiber in the blend, ensuring the garment is tracked correctly in international trade.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification is 6104.41, which covers knitted wool dresses. The distinction between woven (Chapter 62) and knitted (Chapter 61) is the most frequent cause of customs errors. Another error is 6204.42, which is for cotton dresses that may have a wool-like finish. Additionally, if the garment is a skirt rather than a dress, it must be classified under 6204.51. Ensembles (sets of multiple pieces) are also classified separately under 6204.21.
