Classification of women's knit ensemble under HS 6104.29

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.

Codes often confused with 6104.29

Common mistake. 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.

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).
