Product classification
HS code for Textile garment: 6114.90
Garments, of textile materials (other than cotton or man-made fibres), knitted or crocheted, n.e.c. in chapter 61.
Classification of textile garment under HS 6114.90
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.

Codes often confused with 6114.90
Common mistake. 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.

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).
