HS code for Synthetic skirts: 6204.53
Skirts and divided skirts, women's or girls', of synthetic fibres (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of synthetic skirts under HS 6204.53
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.

Codes often confused with 6204.53
Common mistake. 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.

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).
