HS Code for Women's slips
Women's slips and petticoats are classified under HS code 6208.19 when they are woven (not knitted) and made from textile materials other than man-made fibers. This primarily includes undergarments made from natural fibers such as silk, cotton, or linen. Slips are sleeveless undergarments worn beneath dresses or skirts to provide a smooth silhouette, prevent transparency, or improve the hang of the outer garment. Petticoats are similar but are usually worn from the waist down to provide volume or an extra layer under a skirt. The distinction between 6208.19 and other codes in the 6208 group is strictly based on the fiber content and the construction method. Because these are considered 'innerwear' or 'under-apparel,' they are separated from outerwear skirts, even though their construction may appear similar to a simple skirt. The 'not knitted' requirement is a fundamental rule for Chapter 62, as all knitted undergarments are moved to Chapter 61. For luxury silk lingerie that is woven, this is the standard classification code.

Common Misclassification
This code is frequently confused with 6208.11, which is the classification for slips and petticoats made from man-made fibers like polyester, nylon, or acetate. It is also confused with 6108.19, which covers slips that are knitted or crocheted. Furthermore, if the item is intended to be worn as a dress (outerwear) rather than an undergarment, it should be classified under 6204 regardless of its simple construction.
