Classification of women's cotton ensemble under HS 6204.22
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.

Codes often confused with 6204.22
Common mistake. 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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
