HS Code for Women's cotton ensemble

HS code 6204.22 is used for women's or girls' ensembles made of cotton. In the context of the Harmonized System, an "ensemble" has a very specific legal definition: it is a set of garments composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale. It must include one garment designed to cover the upper part of the body (like a jacket or waistcoat) and one or two different garments designed to cover the lower part (like trousers, shorts, or a skirt). All components must be of the same fabric construction, style, and color, and must be of corresponding or compatible size. Because these are classified in Chapter 62, the components must be woven. The 6204.22 code specifically denotes that the primary material of the ensemble is cotton.

Products Included

• Matching cotton jacket and skirt sets
• Cotton blouse and trouser sets (identical fabric)
• Cotton waistcoat and shorts sets
• Three-piece cotton woven sets (top, skirt, and trousers)

Common Misclassification

Ensembles are frequently misclassified as individual items under 6204.32 (jackets) or 6204.62 (trousers) if they are not packaged together for retail sale. Another common error is confusing them with suits (6204.12). A suit requires the outer shell of the components to be identical, but the cut and construction are more formal and specific than an ensemble. Furthermore, knitted ensembles fall under 6104.22.
