HS Code for Men's blazer

Men's blazers manufactured from textile materials other than wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers—such as linen, silk, or hemp—are classified under HS code 6203.39. This code falls under Chapter 62, which encompasses woven apparel. Heading 6203 specifically covers men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, and shorts. The subheading 6203.39 is a 'basket' category for jackets and blazers made of 'other' textile materials. To qualify for this classification, the garment must be a blazer, which is defined as a jacket that is not part of a suit but is designed to be worn on the upper body, typically featuring a lapel and a front opening with buttons. It must be woven; if the blazer is knitted, it would be classified under Heading 6103. The classification is also dependent on the gender of the intended wearer. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), if a garment is designed in a way that it can be worn by either sex, it is usually classified as a male garment unless the cut and characteristics clearly indicate it is for females. For blazers made of blended fabrics, the material that constitutes the greatest weight determines the specific subheading under 6203.3.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification occurs when a blazer is placed under 6203.31 (wool), 6203.32 (cotton), or 6203.33 (synthetic fibers) without a proper fiber content analysis. Another error is confusing a blazer with an overcoat or windbreaker, which fall under Heading 6201. Blazers are intended for indoor or light outdoor wear and lack the heavy insulation or weatherproofing of 6201 garments. Furthermore, if the blazer is sold as part of a matching set of trousers, it must be classified as a 'suit' under 6203.19 rather than a separate blazer.

FAQ

What is the HS code for Men's blazer?

The HS code for a men's woven blazer made of materials like linen or silk is 6203.39. If the blazer is made of cotton, the code is 6203.32, and if made of wool, it is 6203.31.

Does a blazer with a zip closure still fall under 6203.39?

Generally, blazers feature button closures. If a garment has a zipper and is designed for protection against the elements, it might be reclassified as a jacket under Heading 6201. However, if it retains the formal cut of a blazer, it remains in 6203.
