HS Code for Synthetic knit jacket
The classification of a synthetic knit jacket for women or girls falls under HS code 6104.33. This code is part of Chapter 61, which is dedicated to knitted or crocheted apparel. Heading 6104 specifically addresses women's or girls' suits, jackets, and blazers. The subheading 6104.33 is applied when the garment is constructed from synthetic fibers such as polyester, polyamides, or acrylics. For customs purposes, a "jacket" is defined as a garment designed to cover the upper body, usually having a full or partial front opening, and is intended to be worn over other clothing. The distinction between a jacket and an overcoat (which would fall under 6102) is often based on the length of the garment and its intended use; jackets typically do not extend below the mid-thigh. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the jacket is part of a set, provided it is imported as an individual component or the set does not meet the strict legal definition of an "ensemble" under Note 3(b) to Chapter 61. The knitting process must be evident, distinguishing it from woven fabrics of Chapter 62.
