Classification of women's wool shirts under HS 6206.20
Women's wool shirts are classified under HS code 6206.20. This classification is determined by the Harmonized System's hierarchical structure, which categorizes apparel based on the method of construction and the primary material used. Chapter 62 specifically covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted, distinguishing them from the items found in Chapter 61. Within this chapter, heading 6206 is dedicated to women's or girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses. The subheading 6206.20 is further refined to include garments made of wool or fine animal hair. To qualify for this code, the garment must be constructed from woven fabric. If the shirt contains a blend of fibers, it is typically classified according to the material that predominates by weight, provided that wool or fine animal hair constitutes the essential character of the item under General Interpretative Rule 3(b). The distinction between a shirt and a jacket is also critical; shirts are generally lighter and intended to be worn under other garments or directly against the skin, whereas jackets are heavier outer garments classified under 6202. Furthermore, the presence of specific features like a full front opening with buttons or a specific collar type helps distinguish these from pullovers or cardigans. The classification also considers the length and cut of the garment to ensure it fits the definition of a blouse or shirt rather than a dress (6204). Accurate classification is essential for determining the correct duty rates, which can vary significantly between wool and synthetic fibers.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
