HS code for Men's synthetic suit: 6203.12
Suits, men's or boys', of synthetic fibres (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of men's synthetic suit under HS 6203.12
Men's synthetic suits are classified under HS code 6203.12, which falls within Chapter 62 for apparel that is not knitted or crocheted. The classification of a "suit" is strictly defined by Note 3(a) to Chapter 62. A suit must consist of a jacket and trousers (or shorts/breeches) where the outer shell of all components is made from the same fabric in terms of color, construction, and composition. For code 6203.12, the primary material must be synthetic fibers, such as polyester or poly-viscose blends. The components must also be of a compatible or corresponding size. If these criteria are not met—for example, if the jacket and trousers are made of different fabrics—the items cannot be classified as a suit and must be classified separately or as an ensemble under 6203.23.

Codes often confused with 6203.12
Common mistake. A frequent error is using HS code 6103.10, which is for knitted suits. Most professional business suits are woven and belong in Chapter 62. Another common mistake is misclassifying an "ensemble" under 6203.12. An ensemble (6203.23) consists of several garments made of the same fabric but does not include a suit jacket. If the jacket is sold alone, it must be classified under 6203.33. Additionally, if the suit is made of wool or fine animal hair, it must be classified under 6203.11, even if it contains a significant percentage of synthetic lining or trim.

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).
