HS Code for Textile garment

The classification of textile garments under HS code 6114.90 is determined by the construction method and the material composition. This specific code is reserved for garments that are knitted or crocheted, distinguishing them from woven apparel found in Chapter 62. Furthermore, 6114.90 acts as a residual category for garments made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. This includes specialized natural fibers such as silk, linen, hemp, or ramie. To qualify for this code, the garment must not be more specifically described by other headings in Chapter 61, such as T-shirts, jerseys, or tracksuits. The classification process requires a hierarchical check: first, confirming the item is knitted; second, verifying the material is not cotton or synthetic; and third, ensuring no other specific heading applies.

Products Included

Common Misclassification

Garments are frequently misclassified under 6109.10 (cotton T-shirts) or 6110.30 (man-made fiber jerseys) if the material content is not accurately tested. Another common error involves confusing knitted items with woven ones, which would fall under 6211.49. It is critical to distinguish between 'other textile materials' and 'man-made fibers' to avoid using 6114.30 incorrectly.
