HS Code for Synthetic skirts
HS code 6204.53 is specifically designated for women's or girls' skirts and divided skirts manufactured from synthetic fibers, provided they are not knitted or crocheted. This classification falls under Chapter 62 of the Harmonized System, which covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are woven or made from textile fabrics other than those of heading 5903, 5906, or 5907. The determination of this code relies heavily on the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System, particularly GRI 1 and GRI 6. Heading 6204 is a broad category for women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. Subheading 6204.53 is the specific breakout for skirts where synthetic fibers—such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic—constitute the greatest portion of the textile material by weight. The "not knitted or crocheted" requirement is the primary technical boundary, as it distinguishes these woven garments from those found in Chapter 61.

Common Misclassification
This code is frequently confused with 6104.53, which covers skirts that are knitted or crocheted rather than woven. Additionally, if the skirt is made primarily of cotton, it would fall under 6204.52, and if it is made of artificial fibers like rayon, it belongs under 6204.59. Importers must verify the exact fiber percentage and the construction method to avoid these errors.
