HS Code for Women's cotton blazer

Women's cotton blazers are classified under HS code 6204.32. This classification is derived from Heading 6204, which includes women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, and blazers. The subheading 6204.32 is specific to those garments made of cotton. To qualify for this code, the blazer must be a woven garment (not knitted) and cotton must be the predominant textile material by weight. A blazer is defined as a type of jacket that is typically tailored and intended to be worn over other apparel, but it is not part of a formal suit set. The classification process involves applying GRI 1 (Heading terms) and GRI 6 (Subheading terms). The distinction of "cotton" is vital, as the HS system separates garments based on fiber content to determine applicable duty rates and trade statistics.

Products Included

• Woven cotton blazers
• Denim jackets styled as blazers
• Cotton corduroy blazers
• Cotton twill tailored jackets
• Velveteen blazers (if cotton-based)

Common Misclassification

The most frequent misclassification is 6104.32, which applies to knitted or crocheted cotton blazers. Many modern blazers use jersey-knit fabrics for comfort, which requires a move to Chapter 61. Another error is 6204.33, which is for blazers made of synthetic fibers like polyester; if a blazer is a cotton-poly blend, the fiber that predominates by weight determines the code. Additionally, if the blazer is part of a matching set with trousers or a skirt, it should be classified as a suit under 6204.12. Lastly, heavy cotton jackets intended for outdoor protection might be better suited for 6202.30.
