HS Code for Women's synthetic suit

Women's synthetic suits that are woven are classified under HS code 6204.13. This classification is part of Chapter 62, which covers apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6204 includes women's or girls' suits, ensembles, and various individual garments. A suit is defined as a set of garments comprising two or three pieces made up in identical fabric on their outer surface. This typically consists of a tailored jacket or blazer and a matching lower garment like trousers, a skirt, or shorts. For 6204.13, the fabric must be woven and composed of synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. The "identical fabric" requirement is strict; the color, weave, and fiber blend must be uniform across all pieces. The jacket must have a construction of four or more panels. If a set includes a jacket and a skirt made of different but coordinating fabrics, it cannot be classified as a suit and is instead classified as an ensemble under 6204.23. This distinction is vital for customs compliance and trade statistics.

Common Misclassification

The most frequent error is confusing this with HS code 6104.13, which is for knitted synthetic suits. Additionally, if the garments are sold together but the fabrics are not identical (e.g., a solid jacket with a patterned skirt), the set must be classified as an ensemble under 6204.23.
