HS Code for Synthetic knit petticoat
A synthetic knit petticoat or slip is classified under HS code 6108.11. Chapter 61 covers knitted or crocheted apparel, and heading 6108 is specifically reserved for women's or girls' undergarments, including slips, petticoats, briefs, and nightdresses. The subheading 6108.11 is designated for slips and petticoats made of man-made fibers, which include both synthetic fibers (like polyester or nylon) and artificial fibers (like rayon). Petticoats and slips are considered undergarments designed to be worn beneath dresses or skirts to provide shape, prevent transparency, or ensure the outer garment hangs correctly. The classification is determined by the knitting construction and the material composition. If the garment is woven rather than knitted, it would move to Chapter 62. Furthermore, if the garment is intended to be worn as an outer dress rather than an undergarment, it would be reclassified under 6104. The distinction relies heavily on the design, fabric weight, and commercial intent of the product, as undergarments are typically lighter and lack the structural features of outerwear.

Common Misclassification
Synthetic knit petticoats are often confused with 6208.11, which covers woven slips and petticoats. They may also be misclassified under 6108.22 if they are mistaken for briefs or panties. If the item is made of cotton, it belongs in 6108.19. Another error is classifying them as dresses under 6104.43; the primary difference is that 6108 items are specifically designed as intimate apparel or foundation garments.
