HS Code for Infant clothing
Infant clothing made from textile materials other than cotton or synthetic fibers, and which are not knitted or crocheted, is classified under HS code 6209.90. Chapter 62 covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are woven or made from textile fabrics. Heading 6209 is specifically reserved for \"babies' garments and clothing accessories.\" According to the Chapter Notes, the term \"babies\" refers to young children of a body height not exceeding 86 cm. Within this heading, the subheadings are organized by the constituent material. While 6209.20 covers cotton and 6209.30 covers synthetic fibers, 6209.90 acts as the residual category for garments made from materials such as wool, silk, flax, or artificial fibers. The classification is determined by two main factors: the size of the garment (intended for infants) and the fiber composition of the fabric. It is important to note that this code only applies to woven garments; any clothing that is knitted or crocheted must be classified in Chapter 61. This subheading includes a wide range of items, from dresses and trousers to bibs and mittens, provided they are made from the specified \"other\" textile materials and meet the size requirements for infants.

Common Misclassification
The most common misclassification occurs with Chapter 61 (e.g., 6111.90), which covers knitted or crocheted babies' garments. Additionally, if the garment is made of cotton, it must be classified under 6209.20, or if made of synthetic fibers, under 6209.30. Size is also a factor; garments for children taller than 86 cm move to general clothing codes.
