Classification of women's synthetic ensemble under HS 6204.23
The classification of a women's synthetic ensemble under HS code 6204.23 is governed by specific legal notes in the Harmonized System. An ensemble is defined as a set of garments composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale together. This set must include one upper garment (such as a jacket, waistcoat, or top) and one or two different lower garments (such as trousers, skirts, or shorts). For classification under 6204.23, the components must be woven and made of synthetic fibres. Crucially, all components must be of the same fabric construction, style, color, and composition. They must also be of corresponding or compatible sizes. If these strict criteria are not met—for example, if the pieces are sold separately or are made of different fabrics—each item must be classified individually under its own specific HS code. This ensures that coordinated sets are tracked accurately in international trade statistics.

Codes often confused with 6204.23
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification is 6204.13, which is for suits. While similar, suits have specific tailoring requirements that ensembles do not. Another error is classifying components separately under codes like 6204.33 (jackets) or 6204.63 (trousers) when they actually meet the legal definition of an ensemble. Additionally, knitted ensembles must be classified under 6104.23.

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).
