HS Code for Girls' wool suit

The classification of a girls' wool suit under HS code 6204.11 is governed by Note 3(a) to Chapter 62. A 'suit' is defined as a set of garments composed of two or three pieces made up in identical fabric. This typically includes one suit coat or jacket (the outer shell of which, exclusive of sleeves and facings, is composed of four or more panels) and one matching garment, which can be trousers, breeches, shorts, a skirt, or a divided skirt. All components of the suit must be of the same fabric construction, color, and composition; they must also be of corresponding or compatible size. For HS code 6204.11, the fabric must be woven and the predominant fiber must be wool or fine animal hair. This classification is very specific and takes precedence over ensembles if the strict definition of a suit is met. The tailoring of a suit is generally more structured than that of an ensemble, reflecting a formal or professional style.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification is with HS code 6204.21 (Ensembles). The difference is that a suit jacket must have a specific panel construction (four or more panels), whereas ensemble jackets do not. Another error is using 6104.11, which is for knitted suits. If the garments are not made of identical fabric—for example, if the trousers are a slightly different shade or weave than the jacket—they cannot be classified as a suit and must be classified as separate items or an ensemble. Importers also often overlook the 'compatible size' requirement; if the jacket is a size 10 and the skirt is a size 6, it may not qualify as a suit.
