HS Code for Girls' wool skirt

Girls' wool skirts are classified under HS code 6204.51. This classification is part of the Harmonized System's structure for woven apparel. Heading 62.04 covers a variety of women's and girls' garments, and the sub-heading 51 is specifically dedicated to skirts and divided skirts made of wool or fine animal hair. A skirt is defined as a garment designed to cover the lower part of the body, starting from the waist and extending downwards. Divided skirts (culottes) are also included here, provided they have the appearance of a skirt but are constructed with separate leg sections. The classification requires the garment to be woven; if it were knitted, it would fall under Chapter 61. The material must be predominantly wool or fine animal hair. This code applies to individual skirts that are not part of a suit or ensemble. If the skirt is imported as part of a matching set, the rules for ensembles (6204.21) or suits (6204.11) must be evaluated first.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is with HS code 6104.51, which applies to skirts that are knitted or crocheted. Another common error involves 6204.21; if the skirt is sold with a matching jacket as a set for retail sale, it should be classified as an ensemble. Additionally, some importers mistake skirts for 'lower body garments' under 6204.61 (trousers/shorts), but the distinction for divided skirts is that they must clearly resemble a skirt in cut and hang. Finally, if the skirt is made of synthetic fibers, it belongs under 6204.53.
