HS Code for Women's wool dress

Women's dresses made of wool or fine animal hair are classified under HS code 6204.41. A dress is defined as a garment intended to cover the body, starting from the shoulders and extending to the knees or below. Under the Harmonized System, dresses are classified in heading 6204 when they are woven. Subheading 6204.41 is specific to those made of wool or fine animal hair. If a dress is made of a blend of fibers, it is classified under the material that predominates by weight according to the Section XI notes. For example, a dress made of 60% wool and 40% silk would be classified under 6204.41. This classification excludes knitted dresses, which are found in heading 6104. The distinction is critical for duty rates, as wool garments often face different tariff schedules compared to synthetic or cotton counterparts.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification is using 6104.41, which is for knitted wool dresses. Since many wool dresses are sweaters or jersey-knits, they often belong in Chapter 61. Another error is using 6204.42 (cotton) or 6204.43 (synthetic) when the wool content is actually the majority by weight.
