Product classification
HS code for Tie: 6215.90
Ties, bow ties and cravats, of textile materials other than silk or man-made fibres (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of tie under HS 6215.90
Ties, bow ties, and cravats are classified under HS code 6215.90 when they are made of textile materials other than silk or man-made fibers and are not knitted or crocheted. The classification of neckwear in the Harmonized System is highly dependent on two factors: the method of construction and the fiber content. Heading 6215 is reserved for woven (not knitted) neckwear. Within this heading, the subheadings are divided by material: 6215.10 for silk, 6215.20 for man-made fibers, and 6215.90 for all other materials such as cotton, wool, or linen. This classification follows GRI 1 and 6. The items must be finished or at least have the essential character of a finished tie to fall under this code. If the tie is knitted, it is excluded from Chapter 62 entirely and moved to Chapter 61, which covers apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted.

Codes often confused with 6215.90
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 6117.80, which covers knitted or crocheted clothing accessories. If a tie is knitted (common in wool or silk versions), it must be classified under 6117.80. Another error is misidentifying the fiber content; for example, a tie made of a blend of polyester and cotton where polyester predominates by weight should be classified under 6215.20 (man-made fibers) rather than 6215.90.

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).
