Classification of women's skirts under HS 6204.59
HS code 6204.59 serves as a residual category for women's or girls' skirts and divided skirts that are not knitted or crocheted and are made from textile materials not covered by more specific subheadings. While 6204.51, 6204.52, and 6204.53 cover wool, cotton, and man-made fibers respectively, 6204.59 captures garments made from silk, linen, hemp, ramie, or other vegetable fibers. The classification requires the garment to be woven. Divided skirts, which are garments that look like skirts but have separate legs (often called culottes), are also included here. This code is vital for the trade of luxury apparel made from natural fibers or specialized blends where no single fiber like cotton or polyester predominates. The 'n.e.c.' (not elsewhere classified) status of this code means it is only used when the material does not fit into the primary categories of animal hair, cotton, or synthetic/artificial fibers. Proper documentation of the fiber percentage is necessary to justify the use of this specific subheading.

Codes often confused with 6204.59
Common mistake. This code is commonly confused with 6204.53 (man-made fibers) if the fabric is a blend. If man-made fibers predominate by weight, 6204.53 must be used. It is also confused with 6104.59, which is the equivalent code for skirts that are knitted or crocheted rather than woven. Additionally, if the skirt is made of wool or fine animal hair, it must be classified under 6204.51.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
