HS Code for Men's knit overalls

The classification of men's knit overalls under HS code 610349 is determined by the construction method and the specific fiber composition. As part of Chapter 61, these garments must be knitted or crocheted, distinguishing them from woven apparel in Chapter 62. The subheading 610349 is a residual category for garments made of textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers. This typically includes artificial fibers such as viscose, rayon, or acetate, as well as natural fibers like silk or hemp. According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), specifically GRI 1 and 6, classification is dictated by the terms of the headings and subheadings. The term 'bib and brace overalls' refers to garments covering the lower body and featuring a front chest panel with shoulder straps. If a garment is composed of a blend of fibers, Section XI Note 2 applies, stating that the material predominating by weight determines the classification. For 610349, the garment must not meet the criteria for 610341 (wool), 610342 (cotton), or 610343 (synthetic). This code is essential for identifying trade in specialty knitwear and ensuring correct tariff application for non-standard textile blends.

Common Misclassification

This code is frequently confused with 610343, which covers overalls made of synthetic fibers like polyester. The distinction lies in the chemical nature of the fiber (artificial vs. synthetic). It is also often confused with 620349, which is the code for woven versions of the same garment. Additionally, if the overalls are made of cotton, they must be classified under 610342.
