Classification of women's ensemble under HS 6204.29

The classification of women's ensembles under HS code 6204.29 is a precise process governed by the legal notes of Section XI of the Harmonized System. An ensemble is defined as a set of garments composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale and designed to be worn together by women or girls. This specific subheading, 6204.29, is reserved for ensembles made from textile materials other than cotton, synthetic fibers, or wool, and specifically those that are woven rather than knitted or crocheted. To qualify for this classification, the ensemble must include one upper garment designed to cover the upper body and one or two lower garments, such as a skirt, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, or shorts. A critical requirement is that all components must be of the same fabric construction, color, and composition; they must also be of corresponding or compatible size. If the garments are sold together but are made of different fabrics—for instance, a silk blouse with a linen skirt—they cannot be classified as an ensemble and must be declared as individual items under their respective headings. This code is typically applied to luxury or specialty garments made from fibers like silk, linen, hemp, or ramie, which do not fall under the more common material categories.

Codes often confused with 6204.29

Common mistake. A frequent error in classification involves confusing 6204.29 with codes based on different material compositions. For instance, if the ensemble is made of cotton, it must be classified under 6204.22, while synthetic fiber ensembles fall under 6204.23. Another common mistake is failing to distinguish between woven and knitted items; knitted ensembles are classified under heading 6104.29. Additionally, if the garments are not made of the same fabric—for example, a silk blouse paired with linen trousers—they do not meet the legal definition of an ensemble and must be classified separately under their respective headings for blouses (6206) and trousers (6204).

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).
