HS Code for Snowsuit

A knitted or crocheted snowsuit is classified under HS code 6112.20. Chapter 61 covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Heading 6112 includes tracksuits, ski suits, and swimwear. Subheading 6112.20 is the specific designation for ski suits. To be classified here, the garment must meet the definition of a \"ski suit\" as provided in the HS Explanatory Notes: it must be designed for wear during skiing (or snowboarding) and consist of either a one-piece coverall or a set of two or three pieces put up for retail sale. The \"knitted\" construction is the primary factor distinguishing this from woven alternatives. These garments are typically designed with technical features such as insulation, water resistance, and specialized cuffs to protect the wearer from snow and cold temperatures.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

The most frequent error is confusing this code with HS code 6211.20, which covers ski suits made of woven fabrics. Since most high-performance snowsuits are woven, 6211.20 is actually more common, but knitted versions must stay in 6112.20. Another misclassification is 6113.00, which covers garments made of knitted fabrics that have been coated or laminated with plastics; if the fabric is heavily coated, 6113 may take precedence.
