Classification of men's synthetic trousers under HS 6203.43
Men's synthetic trousers are classified under HS code 6203.43. This classification is found in Chapter 62, which covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted (woven). Heading 6203 is designated for men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. The subheading 6203.43 specifically identifies garments made of synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. The classification process involves verifying that the garment is woven and that it is designed for men or boys, typically indicated by a left-over-right fly closure. This code covers a wide range of lower-body garments, provided they are not part of a matching suit or ensemble, and are not intended for specialized use like swimwear or skiwear.

Codes often confused with 6203.43
Common mistake. A common error is misclassifying these items under 6103.43, which is the code for knitted trousers. The physical construction of the fabric (woven vs. knitted) is the primary determinant between Chapter 61 and 62. Another frequent mistake is using 6203.42, which is for cotton trousers; many synthetic blends (like 65% polyester/35% cotton) are classified under 6203.43 because the synthetic fiber predominates by weight. Additionally, women's trousers are classified under 6204.63, and the distinction is strictly based on the garment's cut and closure direction as per the Chapter Notes.

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).
