Classification of men's cotton ensemble under HS 6203.22
A men's cotton ensemble is classified under HS code 6203.22. According to the Note 3(b) to Chapter 62, an "ensemble" is a set of garments composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale. This set must include one garment designed to cover the upper part of the body and one or two different garments designed to cover the lower part. For men, this typically means a waistcoat or shirt paired with trousers, shorts, or bib and brace overalls. All components must be of the same fabric construction, style, color, and composition. HS code 6203.22 specifically covers these sets when the primary material is cotton and the construction is woven. This classification ensures that sets are treated as a single unit for tariff purposes rather than as individual items, provided they meet the strict criteria of being sized for the same person and sold together.

Codes often confused with 6203.22
Common mistake. The most frequent error is classifying the components separately under codes like 6205.20 (shirts) and 6203.42 (trousers). If they meet the definition of an ensemble, they must stay in 6203.22. Another misclassification is 6103.22, which is for knitted cotton ensembles. Additionally, if the garments are not of the same fabric or are not packaged for retail sale as a set, they cannot be classified as an ensemble and must be entered under their respective individual HS codes.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
