HS Code for Girls' wool knit jacket

The classification of a girls' wool knit jacket under HS code 6104.31 is based on the construction method of the fabric and the intended user. Chapter 61 of the Harmonized System specifically covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. The code 6104.31 applies to women's or girls' jackets made of wool or fine animal hair. Unlike woven jackets, these items are produced by interlooping yarns, providing more stretch and a different texture. To be classified as a jacket under this heading, the garment must have a full or partial front opening and be designed to be worn over other clothing. It is distinguished from sweaters or pullovers (heading 61.10) by its construction and styling, which typically mimics a blazer or a structured outer layer. The material composition must be at least 50% wool or fine animal hair by weight to satisfy the sub-heading requirements.

Common Misclassification

This code is frequently confused with 6204.31, which is the code for woven wool jackets. The primary difference is the fabric construction (knit vs. woven). Another common error is classifying these items under 6110.11, which covers sweaters, pullovers, and cardigans. While the line between a knit jacket and a cardigan can be thin, a jacket usually has more structure, a collar, or is made of a heavier weight knit. Furthermore, if the jacket is part of a knitted set, it might fall under 6104.21 (Ensembles) if it meets the retail sale criteria.
