HS Code for Women's wool trousers

HS code 6204.61 covers women's or girls' trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts made of wool or fine animal hair that are woven rather than knitted. These garments are designed to cover the lower part of the body, covering each leg separately. The classification depends heavily on the textile material; "wool" refers to the natural fiber from sheep or lambs, while "fine animal hair" refers to hair from alpaca, llama, vicuna, camel, yak, Angora, Tibetan, Kashmir, or similar goats. To fall under this code, the garment must not be part of a suit set as defined in the HS nomenclature. If the trousers are part of a suit, they are classified under 6204.11. The distinction between woven and knitted (Chapter 61) is a primary factor in determining the correct heading. Furthermore, the garment must be specifically cut for women or girls; if the garment has a front opening that closes left over right, it is generally considered a male garment and classified under 6203.41.

Common Misclassification

The most common misclassification occurs with HS code 6104.61, which is reserved for knitted or crocheted wool trousers. Importers also often confuse this with 6204.63, which applies to trousers made of synthetic fibers like polyester. Additionally, if the trousers are imported as part of a matching suit set, they must be classified under 6204.11.
