HS Code for Men's wool knit blazer
A men's wool knit blazer is classified under HS code 610331. This classification is unique because it combines the formal structure of a blazer with the technical construction of knitwear. Chapter 61 of the Harmonized System is dedicated to apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. This method of construction involves creating a fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, which distinguishes it from the woven fabrics found in Chapter 62. Heading 6103 covers men's or boys' suits, jackets, and blazers. Subheading 31 is the specific category for items made of wool or fine animal hair. To be classified here, the garment must possess the characteristics of a blazer—such as a lapel and a structured front—while being made of a knit fabric where wool is the heaviest component. This code is often confused with sweaters or cardigans (heading 6110), but the presence of blazer-like features is the deciding factor. Accurate classification under 610331 is vital for international trade, as it affects the application of quotas and tariffs that vary significantly between knitted and woven wool garments. The use of fine animal hair, such as cashmere or mohair, also falls under this subheading, provided the construction is knitted.
