HS Code for Synthetic knit skirt

The classification of a synthetic knit skirt under HS code 6104.53 is governed by the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System. Chapter 61 specifically covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Within this chapter, heading 6104 encompasses women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts (other than swimwear). The subheading 6104.53 is designated for skirts and divided skirts made specifically from synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. To qualify for this code, the garment must be constructed using a knitting or crocheting process rather than being woven. The distinction between "synthetic" and "artificial" fibers is also crucial; synthetic fibers are polymers produced from chemical synthesis, whereas artificial fibers are derived from natural polymers like cellulose. This code applies to garments designed for women or girls, excluding infant wear which falls under heading 6111. The classification process requires identifying the primary material by weight and the method of construction to ensure the product meets the criteria for knitted synthetic apparel.

Common Misclassification

This product is frequently confused with HS code 6204.53, which covers women's or girls' skirts made of synthetic fibers that are woven rather than knitted. Additionally, if the skirt is made of cotton knit, it should be classified under 6104.52. If the garment is intended for infants (height not exceeding 86 cm), it must be classified under heading 6111 regardless of the fiber type.
