HS Code for Synthetic pullover

HS code 611030 covers jerseys, pullovers, cardigans, waistcoats, and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, made of man-made fibers. This category is part of Chapter 61, which deals with apparel that is constructed through knitting or crocheting rather than weaving. The term pullover refers to a garment designed to cover the upper body and reach the waist or mid-thigh, usually worn over other clothing for warmth or as a standalone top. Unlike shirts in heading 6105, pullovers do not require a collar or a specific type of opening. Cardigans, which are also included in this code, are characterized by a full-length front opening. The material must be man-made fibers, such as polyester, acrylic, or polypropylene. This code is often used for technical fleece garments, provided they are knitted. The distinction between 6110 and other headings like 6101 (overcoats) or 6103 (jackets) depends on the weight of the fabric and the intended use. Generally, if the garment is lightweight and lacks a lining or heavy-duty closures typical of outerwear, it remains in 6110. For classification purposes, the fiber content must be verified through laboratory testing or detailed manufacturer specifications to ensure that man-made fibers predominate over natural fibers like cotton or wool. If the garment contains more than 50% man-made fiber by weight, 611030 is the appropriate subheading.

Common Misclassification

Pullovers are frequently confused with 610130 (overcoats) or 610333 (jackets). The primary difference is that pullovers are generally lighter and designed for layering, whereas jackets are constructed as outer garments. Another common error is misclassifying synthetic blends under 611020 (cotton) or 611011 (wool). If the garment is 51% polyester and 49% cotton, it must be classified under 611030. Additionally, sweatshirts with hoods are sometimes incorrectly placed in 6101, but they belong in 6110 if they are knitted and lack the structural features of a coat.
