Classification of synthetic knit dress under HS 6104.43
Women's or girls' dresses made from synthetic fibers that have been knitted or crocheted are classified under HS code 6104.43. This classification is strictly governed by the rules of Chapter 61, which encompasses articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Within this chapter, heading 6104 covers a variety of women's garments, including suits, ensembles, jackets, and dresses. The specific subheading 6104.43 is determined by the material composition—synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. According to Section XI Note 1, "synthetic fibers" refers to staple fibers and filaments of organic polymers produced by manufacturing processes. If a dress is made of a blend of fibers, it is classified according to the fiber that predominates by weight, as per the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI 3). The "knitted" aspect is a primary determinant, distinguishing these items from woven garments found in Chapter 62. The garment must be designed to cover the body from the shoulders and extend to the knees or below to be considered a dress rather than a top or a skirt.

Codes often confused with 6104.43
Common mistake. The most common error is misclassifying these items under 6204.43, which is for woven synthetic dresses. Another frequent mistake is using 6104.42, which is reserved for cotton knit dresses. If the dress is made of artificial fibers like rayon or viscose (rather than synthetic), it should be classified under 6104.44. Additionally, if the garment is an undergarment (a slip), it belongs in 6108.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
