HS Code for Women's wool skirt
Women's wool skirts are classified under HS code 6204.51, provided they are made of woven wool or fine animal hair and are not knitted or crocheted. This heading includes standard skirts as well as divided skirts (culottes), which are garments that appear to be skirts but have separate legs. The classification depends on the garment being the lower part of an outfit designed to cover the lower body from the waist down. If the skirt is imported as part of a suit where the jacket and skirt match in fabric and style, it is classified under 6204.11. However, when sold individually or as part of a non-matching set, 6204.51 is the correct designation. The fabric must be woven, which involves the interlacing of warp and weft yarns. This code is strictly for women's and girls' apparel. The wool content must be the predominant textile material by weight. Fine animal hair, such as that from the Kashmir goat or alpaca, is treated the same as sheep's wool for this classification.

Common Misclassification
A common misclassification occurs with HS code 6104.51, which is for skirts that are knitted or crocheted. Importers must verify the fabric construction to avoid this error. Another mistake is classifying a skirt under 6204.11 if it is part of a suit; the suit code takes precedence if the items meet the matching requirements. Additionally, if the garment is more like a pair of shorts but has a skirt-like appearance, it must be carefully evaluated to determine if it qualifies as a "divided skirt" under 6204.51 or as shorts under 6204.61.
