HS Code for Men's cotton blazer

Men's cotton blazers are classified under HS code 6203.32. This classification is part of Chapter 62, which covers woven apparel, and Heading 6203, which includes men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, and shorts. The subheading 6203.32 specifically identifies jackets and blazers made of cotton. A blazer is defined as a garment designed to cover the upper part of the body, usually with a full front opening and no hood. It is typically more formal than a windbreaker but less formal than a suit jacket, although the HS code treats blazers and jackets similarly. To be classified under 6203.32, the blazer must be woven. Cotton blazers are popular for their breathability and are often made from twill, poplin, or corduroy fabrics. The classification requires that cotton is the predominant fiber by weight. If the blazer is part of a set sold at retail with matching trousers, it may need to be classified as a suit under 6203.12, provided all components are of the same fabric construction and color.

Common Misclassification

A common mistake is classifying a cotton blazer under 6103.32, which is for knitted cotton blazers. Another error is using 6203.33 for synthetic blazers or 6203.31 for wool blazers. Furthermore, if the garment has features of an overcoat (like heavy lining or weatherproofing), it might be misclassified under 6201.30. It is also important to distinguish between a blazer and a shirt-jacket; if the garment is lightweight and intended to be worn directly against the skin or as a shirt, it might fall under Heading 6205.
