Classification of men's cotton vests under HS 6207.91
Men's cotton vests, in the context of undergarments and loungewear, are classified under HS code 6207.91. This heading covers men's or boys' singlets and other vests, bathrobes, dressing gowns, and similar articles. The term 'vest' here refers to lightweight garments worn next to the skin or over underwear, but under outer clothing, or as indoor loungewear. It is important to note that this code is for woven cotton articles. The classification follows GRI 1, which looks at the terms of the heading. Because most modern singlets are knitted, they fall under Chapter 61; therefore, 6207.91 is specifically for those constructed from woven fabrics. This code also captures woven cotton bathrobes and dressing gowns, which are loose-fitting garments designed for indoor use. The material must be predominantly cotton by weight. If the garment is intended for outdoor use as a waistcoat, it would be classified elsewhere, such as under 6211 or 6203, depending on its construction and features.

Codes often confused with 6207.91
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is with HS code 6109.10, which covers knitted cotton T-shirts and singlets. Since most 'vests' (singlets) are knitted, they rarely fall under 6207.91. Another error is confusing these with 'waistcoats' or 'outerwear vests,' which are classified under 6211.32 (if athletic/casual) or 6203.32 (if part of a suit or formal wear). Additionally, if the vest is made of synthetic fibers, it would be classified under 6207.99. Proper identification of the fabric construction (woven vs. knitted) and the intended use (undergarment/loungewear vs. outerwear) is essential for correct classification.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
