Classification of synthetic knit jacket under HS 6104.33

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.

Codes often confused with 6104.33

They may also be confused with 6102.30, which covers overcoats, car-coats, and similar heavy outer garments. If the jacket is made of cotton, it belongs in 6104.32. Furthermore, if the item is a lightweight sweater or pullover without a front opening, it should be classified under 6110.30.

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).
