Classification of wool blouses under HS 6206.20
HS code 620620 is specifically assigned to women's or girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses made of wool or fine animal hair that are not knitted or crocheted. This classification falls under Chapter 62, which covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are woven. The distinction between "knitted" (Chapter 61) and "woven" (Chapter 62) is fundamental in textile customs classification. For a garment to be classified under 620620, it must be constructed from woven fabric, which is formed by the interlacing of warp and weft yarns. Blouses are generally defined as lightweight garments designed to cover the upper body, usually having an opening, buttons, and sleeves, though styles vary significantly. The "wool" designation applies if wool is the predominant textile material by weight. If the blouse is a blend, the rules of Section XI Note 2 apply, requiring the wool component to outweigh any other single textile material. Fine animal hair refers to the hair of alpaca, llama, vicuna, camel, yak, or Angora goats. This code excludes men's or boys' shirts, which are classified under heading 6205. Accurate classification is vital as duty rates for wool apparel can be significantly higher than those for synthetic or cotton garments.

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).
