Classification of women's overalls under HS 6204.62
The classification of women's overalls under HS code 6204.62 is based on the garment type, the gender of the intended wearer, and the fabric composition. Heading 6204 covers woven suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, and bib and brace overalls for women or girls. Subheading 6204.62 specifically identifies bib and brace overalls made of cotton. To qualify for this code, the garment must be woven (not knitted) and primarily composed of cotton fibers. These articles are characterized by a front section (the bib) that covers the chest, held up by straps over the shoulders, and integrated trousers. The classification process requires identifying the predominant fiber by weight; if the garment is a blend, it must contain at least 50% cotton to remain in this subheading, unless other specific rules of the Harmonized System apply. This code is widely used for denim overalls, which are a staple of cotton-based apparel. It is important to note that the garment must be designed for women or girls; similar items for men or boys are classified under heading 6203. The construction must be woven, which is typical for durable workwear and casual denim items, providing less stretch than knitted versions but offering higher durability and structure.

Codes often confused with 6204.62
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs between 6204.62 and 6104.62. The latter is used for knitted or crocheted cotton overalls, which are softer and more elastic. Another frequent error is using 6204.63, which is reserved for overalls made of man-made fibers like polyester. Furthermore, some industrial-grade overalls might be incorrectly classified under 6211.42 if they are considered specialized industrial wear or aprons, though 6204.62 generally takes precedence for standard bib and brace designs. Finally, if the overalls are part of a set sold together, they might be classified as an ensemble under 6204.22.

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).
