HS Code for Women's synthetic dress
Women's synthetic dresses are classified under HS code 6204.43. This classification is part of Chapter 62, which covers woven apparel. Heading 6204 is a broad category including suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, and trousers for women or girls. The specific subheading 43 is reserved for dresses made of synthetic fibres, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. A dress is defined as a garment intended to cover the body starting from the shoulders and extending to the knees or below. For a garment to be classified under this code, it must be woven; if it were knitted, it would fall under Chapter 61. The material composition is the final deciding factor; synthetic fibres must predominate by weight. This code is used internationally to ensure uniform duty application and trade monitoring for woven synthetic dresses, which are a staple of the global garment trade.

Common Misclassification
A common misclassification occurs with HS code 6104.43, which is for dresses that are knitted or crocheted. Importers also frequently confuse 6204.43 with 6204.44, which is for dresses made of artificial fibres like rayon or acetate. While both are man-made, the HS distinguishes between synthetic and artificial polymers. Furthermore, if a dress is part of a matching set sold together, it might be classified as an ensemble under 6204.23.
