Classification of men's knit overalls under HS 6103.49

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.

Additionally, if the overalls are made of cotton, they must be classified under 610342.

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).
