Classification of women's synthetic dress under HS 6204.43
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.

Codes often confused with 6204.43
Common mistake. 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.

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).
