Classification of women's trousers under HS 6204.69
Women's trousers made from materials such as silk, linen, ramie, or hemp are classified under HS code 6204.69. This code serves as the "other textile materials" category within heading 6204, which covers women's or girls' suits, jackets, and trousers. The classification process begins by confirming the garment is a lower-body covering for women (trousers, shorts, or breeches) and ensuring it is not knitted or crocheted, which would place it in Chapter 61. Once the construction is confirmed as woven, the material composition is analyzed. If the garment is not made of wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers, it falls into this residual category. This is common for high-end fashion items made of luxury natural fibers or traditional textiles that do not have their own specific subheading.

Codes often confused with 6204.69
Common mistake. The most common misclassification occurs when the material is a blend. If a pair of trousers is 50% cotton and 50% linen, it may be misclassified under 6204.62 (cotton). However, if the "other" material predominates or if the cotton does not constitute the majority weight, 6204.69 may be applicable. It is also frequently confused with 6104.69, which is for knitted trousers of other materials.

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).
