Classification of men's cotton knit coat under HS 6101.20
Men's cotton knit coats are classified under HS code 6101.20. This classification is governed by Chapter 61, which specifically covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Heading 6101 includes men's or boys' overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, wind-cheaters, and similar articles. The primary distinction for this code is the textile construction; the fabric must be produced by interlocking loops of yarn (knitting) rather than interlacing two sets of yarns (weaving). The subheading 6101.20 is designated for these items when they are made of cotton. These garments are typically heavier than standard sweaters or cardigans and are intended to be worn as the outermost layer for protection against cold or wind. The classification follows GIR 1 and the specific notes for Chapter 61, which exclude woven garments of Chapter 62.

Codes often confused with 6101.20
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification is 6201.30, which is for woven cotton coats. The physical appearance can sometimes be similar, but the knit structure is the deciding factor. Another common error is using 6103.32, which covers knitted cotton jackets and blazers. The distinction between a coat (6101) and a jacket (6103) depends on the length and the protective nature of the garment. Additionally, lightweight knitted sweaters should be classified under 6110.20 rather than 6101.20.

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).
