Classification of women's cotton knit ensemble under HS 6104.22

HS code 6104.22 is designated for women's or girls' ensembles made of cotton, knitted or crocheted. An ensemble is defined in the Harmonized System Legal Notes as a set of garments composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale together. This set must include one garment designed to cover the upper part of the body and one or two garments designed to cover the lower part (such as trousers, skirts, or shorts). All components must be of the same fabric construction, style, and color. The classification under 6104.22 specifically requires the material to be cotton. If the components are sold separately or are made of different fabrics, they cannot be classified as an ensemble and must be coded individually. The 'identical fabric' requirement is strict; even a slight variation in the knit pattern or the shade of the cotton dye between the top and bottom can disqualify the set from being an ensemble. Furthermore, the components must be of corresponding sizes. This classification is beneficial for trade statistics as it tracks coordinated sets rather than individual pieces. Importers must ensure that the packaging clearly indicates the items are sold as a single unit to satisfy the 'put up for retail sale' requirement of the HS nomenclature.

Codes often confused with 6104.22

Common mistake. The most common misclassification is HS code 6104.12, which is for cotton knit suits. A suit requires the outer shell of the components to be identical, but the cut and construction are more formal than an ensemble. Another error is classifying the items separately under 6104.62 (trousers) and 6106.10 (blouses) when they are packaged together as a matching set. Additionally, if the set is intended for sports, it might be confused with HS code 6112.11 for cotton tracksuits.

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).
