Classification of men's wool knit jacket under HS 6103.31
Men's wool knit jackets are classified under HS code 6103.31 because they fall within Chapter 61, which specifically covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. The classification is determined by three primary factors: the gender of the wearer (men's or boys'), the method of construction (knitted), and the material composition (wool or fine animal hair). According to the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), specifically GRI 1, the section and chapter notes dictate that garments made of knitted fabrics must be placed in Chapter 61 rather than Chapter 62. Heading 6103 covers suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, and trousers. Subheading 6103.31 is reserved for jackets and blazers where wool or fine animal hair represents the predominant weight of the textile material. This includes garments with a weight of 600g/m or more if they are intended for outerwear, provided they meet the technical definition of a jacket rather than an overcoat or wind-breaker.

Codes often confused with 6103.31
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 6203.31. While both codes cover wool jackets, Chapter 62 is strictly for woven garments. Importers often confuse the two if the knit is very tight and resembles a woven fabric. Additionally, if the jacket provides significant protection against the weather and extends below mid-thigh, it might be classified under 6101.10 as an overcoat or car coat. Another error involves garments made of synthetic fibers that look like wool; these must be classified under 6103.33.

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).
