Classification of men's knit trousers under HS 6103.49
Classification under HS code 6103.49 is determined by both the construction method and the material composition of the garment. This specific code covers men's or boys' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts that are produced via knitting or crocheting. Crucially, this subheading serves as a residual category for items made from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers. This includes materials such as artificial fibers (e.g., rayon, viscose), silk, or flax, provided the fabric structure is knitted. The classification follows General Interpretative Rules (GIR) 1 and 6, emphasizing the "knitted" nature of the garment which distinguishes it from Chapter 62 woven items. Proper identification requires verifying that the garment is not made of synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, which would shift the classification to 6103.43.

Codes often confused with 6103.49

Additionally, woven trousers made of the same materials are classified under 6203.49. Importers often mistake the material composition; if the garment contains more than 85% cotton or synthetic fibers, it must be moved to the respective specific codes like 6103.42 or 6103.43.

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).
