HS Code for Women's knit ensemble

HS code 6104.29 applies to women's or girls' ensembles that are knitted or crocheted and made from textile materials other than cotton or synthetic fibers. According to Note 3(b) to Chapter 61, an ensemble is defined as a set of garments composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale and comprising one garment designed to cover the upper part of the body and one or two different garments designed to cover the lower part. The components of an ensemble must be of the same fabric construction, style, color, and composition; they must also be of corresponding or compatible sizes. This classification ensures that coordinated sets are grouped together rather than as individual components. The use of 6104.29 specifically indicates that the material is something other than cotton or synthetic fibers, such as wool, silk, or artificial fibers like rayon, provided they are knitted.

Products Included

• Knitted silk twin sets consisting of a cardigan and a matching skirt
• Knitted linen-blend sets comprising a top and trousers
• Knitted wool ensembles with a sweater and matching shorts
• Coordinated knitted sets of three pieces (e.g., top, skirt, and jacket)
• Knitted ensembles made of ramie or hemp fibers

Common Misclassification

Ensembles are frequently misclassified as individual garments under codes like 6104.49 (dresses) or 6104.69 (trousers) if the importer does not recognize the set as a single unit. Furthermore, they are often confused with suits (6104.19). The distinction is that a suit jacket must have a specific construction (usually with sleeves and a front opening), whereas an ensemble top can be a pullover or cardigan. Another common error is using 6104.22 for cotton ensembles or 6104.23 for synthetic ensembles, which are more specific than the 6104.29 category.
