HS Code for Mohair cardigan

A mohair cardigan is classified under HS code 6110.19. This code covers knitted or crocheted jerseys, pullovers, cardigans, and similar articles made of fine animal hair other than cashmere. Classification is determined by the construction method (knitted or crocheted) and the material composition. Mohair is defined as fine animal hair under Chapter 51. When these fibers are converted into yarn and then knitted into a garment like a cardigan, they fall under Chapter 61. The specific subheading 6110.19 is used because mohair is a fine animal hair but is not sourced from the Kashmir goat. The garment must be knitted to fall under this code; woven garments are classified elsewhere.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

This product is often misclassified under HS code 6110.11, which is for garments made of sheep's wool. Although mohair is often called "mohair wool" in retail, the HS system treats it as fine animal hair. It is also confused with 6110.12, which is specifically for cashmere. Furthermore, if the cardigan is woven rather than knitted, it must be classified under heading 6202 or 6211 depending on the design.
