HS Code for Men's knit blazer

Men's knit blazers made of textile materials other than wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers are classified under HS code 6103.39. This code is found in Chapter 61, which covers all knitted or crocheted apparel. Heading 6103 is dedicated to men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, and blazers. A blazer or jacket in this context is defined as a garment designed to cover the upper part of the body, usually with a full front opening and sleeves, intended to be worn over a shirt or sweater. The subheading 6103.39 is a specific category for garments made from "other" textile materials, which includes artificial fibers (such as rayon or viscose), silk, or linen, provided the garment is knitted. The classification is governed by GRI 1 and GRI 6. It is essential to distinguish between synthetic fibers (like polyester) and artificial fibers (like rayon) when using this code, as synthetic fibers would fall under 6103.33. The knit construction must be evident; if the blazer is woven, it would move to Chapter 62. Furthermore, the garment must not have the characteristics of a cardigan or pullover, which are classified under 6110, even if they are knitted. The presence of a structured collar and lapels typically identifies the item as a blazer rather than a sweater.

Common Misclassification

A common error is classifying these under 6103.32 (cotton) or 6103.33 (synthetic fibers). Importers must verify the exact fiber composition to ensure the material is truly "other." Another frequent mistake is using 6203.39, which is for woven blazers of similar materials. Finally, if the garment lacks a structured front or lapels, it might be misclassified as a cardigan under 6110.90.
