Classification of women's synthetic knit ensemble under HS 6104.23
Classification of women's synthetic knit ensembles under HS code 6104.23 is governed by the Section XI notes of the Harmonized System and the specific definitions provided in Chapter 61. Chapter 61 is dedicated to apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Heading 6104 covers a variety of women's garments, and subheading 6104.23 specifically addresses ensembles made from synthetic fibers. According to Note 3(b) to Chapter 61, the term "ensemble" means a set of garments (other than suits) composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale. This set must include one garment designed to cover the upper part of the body and one or two garments designed to cover the lower part. All components must be of the same fabric construction, style, color, and composition. Furthermore, they must be of corresponding or compatible size. Synthetic fibers typically include polyester, polypropylene, or acrylic. The knitted nature of the fabric is a primary determinant, distinguishing it from woven garments in Chapter 62. If the garments are not identical in fabric or are not packaged together for retail sale, they fail the ensemble criteria and must be classified separately.

Codes often confused with 6104.23
Common mistake. This code is frequently confused with HS code 6104.13, which covers knitted suits. The primary difference is that a suit must include a specific type of jacket with at least four panels. It is also often confused with HS code 6104.43 for dresses; if the top and bottom are joined, it is a dress, not an ensemble. Additionally, woven ensembles fall 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 marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
