Classification of men's knit coat under HS 6101.90
Men's knit coats are classified under HS code 6101.90. This classification is part of Chapter 61, which specifically covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Heading 6101 is dedicated to men's or boys' overcoats, car-coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks, wind-cheaters, wind-jackets, and similar articles. The subheading 6101.90 serves as a residual category for garments made from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or man-made fibers. This includes materials such as silk, flax (linen), hemp, or ramie. The classification depends heavily on two factors: the construction method (must be knitted or crocheted) and the fiber content. Because 6101.10, 6101.20, and 6101.30 cover wool, cotton, and man-made fibers respectively, 6101.90 is the correct destination for coats made from less common natural fibers. This code ensures that heavy outer garments are distinguished from lighter indoor jackets or blazers, which are classified elsewhere in the nomenclature.

Codes often confused with 6101.90
Common mistake. The most common misclassification for this product is HS code 6201.90, which is used for similar coats that are woven rather than knitted. Another frequent error is using 6103.39, which covers men's knitted jackets and blazers; however, heading 6101 is specifically for overcoats and outdoor protective wear, which are generally worn over other clothing. Additionally, if the coat is made of synthetic fibers, it must be classified under 6101.30, and if made of cotton, under 6101.20. Misidentifying the fiber content is the primary cause of incorrect subheading selection within heading 6101.

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).
