HS Code for Women's blazer

The classification of a women's blazer under HS code 6204.39 is determined by its construction as a non-knitted (woven) garment and its material composition. Heading 6204 encompasses women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, and blazers. The term "blazer" in this context refers to a jacket that is typically tailored, intended to be worn over other clothing, and does not form part of a suit set (which would be classified under 6204.11 through 6204.19). Subheading 6204.39 is a residual category for blazers made of textile materials not elsewhere specified, such as silk, linen, hemp, or ramie. This classification follows GRI 1, which prioritizes the heading text, and GRI 6, which dictates the use of subheadings. Because the garment is woven and made of these specific "other" fibers, it is excluded from the more specific subheadings for wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers.

Common Misclassification

Women's blazers are often misclassified under 6204.32 (cotton) or 6204.33 (synthetic fibers) if the fiber content is not accurately tested. Another common error is using 6104.39, which is reserved for knitted or crocheted blazers. If the blazer is sold as part of a suit (with matching trousers or a skirt), it must be classified under 6204.19 as a suit rather than an individual jacket. Furthermore, lightweight jackets that resemble shirts might be confused with 6206, but the presence of a lining or structured lapels generally confirms classification as a blazer under 6204.
