HS Code for Women's synthetic trousers

The classification of women's synthetic trousers under HS code 6204.63 is determined by the material composition and the construction method of the garment. According to the Harmonized System's General Rules for Interpretation, Chapter 62 is reserved for apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6204 specifically covers women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. Within this heading, the subheading 6204.63 is designated for items manufactured from synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic. To be classified here, the garment must be woven. If the fabric is a blend, the classification is typically determined by the material that predominates by weight. For instance, a pair of trousers made of 65% polyester and 35% cotton is classified under 6204.63 because the synthetic component is the majority weight.

Common Misclassification

A frequent error is confusing HS code 6204.63 with 6104.63. The distinction lies in the construction: 6104.63 is for knitted or crocheted garments, whereas 6204.63 is for woven items. Additionally, importers may mistakenly use 6204.62 (cotton) or 6204.69 (other textile materials like silk or linen) if the fiber content is not accurately tested and documented.
