HS Code for Men's wool knit overalls

Men's wool knit overalls are classified under HS code 6103.41 based on the specific construction method and the fiber origin. Chapter 61 of the Harmonized System is dedicated to articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. The classification within this chapter is further refined by the material; 6103.41 specifically targets wool or fine animal hair. Fine animal hair, as defined in the Section XI legal notes, includes the hair of alpaca, llama, vicuna, camel, yak, Angora, Tibetan, Kashmir, or similar goats. This classification applies to bib and brace overalls, which are garments covering the lower body and having a piece covering the chest, usually held up by straps over the shoulders. The technical distinction here is the 'knitted' nature of the fabric, which provides stretch and a different texture compared to woven wool garments. Customs officials look for the interlocking loop structure characteristic of knitting to confirm this heading. Furthermore, the garment must be sized and cut for men or boys to remain within the 6103 heading, as women's equivalents fall under 6104.

Common Misclassification

A common error is classifying these under 6203.41, which is the code for woven wool overalls. The physical structure of the fabric is the deciding factor. Another misclassification involves 6103.42, which is used if the knit material is primarily cotton rather than wool or fine animal hair.
