Classification of textile skirts under HS 6204.59
Women's or girls' skirts and divided skirts made of woven textile materials are classified under HS code 6204.59 when they are composed of fibers other than wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers. This includes garments made from silk, linen, hemp, or ramie. The classification is governed by Chapter 62, which covers apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted. To fall under 6204.59, the garment must be a "made-up" article, meaning it is finished and ready for wear. The distinction between this code and others in the 6204.5 series is purely based on the predominant textile material by weight. If a skirt is a blend, the material that provides the greatest weight determines the classification, provided it does not meet the criteria for wool (6204.51), cotton (6204.52), or synthetic fibers (6204.53). This code is essential for customs to track trade in luxury or specialty fiber garments that do not fit the common mass-market material categories. Divided skirts, also known as culottes, are included here as long as they have the appearance of a skirt but are constructed with separate leg sections.

Codes often confused with 6204.59
Common mistake. This code is often confused with 6104.59, which covers skirts that are knitted or crocheted. It is also frequently misclassified under 6204.52 (cotton) or 6204.53 (synthetic fibers) if the fiber content is not accurately identified. Additionally, if the item is part of a suit (sold together with a matching jacket), it may be classified under 6204.19 instead of as an individual skirt.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
