Classification of wool knit pants under HS 6104.61
Wool knit pants for women or girls are classified under HS code 6104.61. This classification follows the hierarchical structure of the Harmonized System, where Chapter 61 encompasses knitted or crocheted apparel. Heading 6104 is designated for various women's and girls' garments, including trousers and breeches. The specific subheading 6104.61 is applied when the primary material is wool or fine animal hair. Classification depends on both the gender of the intended wearer and the construction of the fabric. If the garment is constructed from interlocking loops of yarn (knitting) rather than interlacing warp and weft threads (weaving), it must fall under Chapter 61. Furthermore, the weight of the wool component must exceed that of any other single textile material present in the blend to maintain this classification. The term "trousers" includes leggings and slacks, provided they meet the criteria for knitted construction and material composition. This code ensures that high-value wool knitwear is tracked separately from synthetic or cotton alternatives.

Codes often confused with 6104.61
Common mistake. A common error is classifying these items under 6204.61, which is reserved for woven wool trousers. The physical difference between a knit and a weave is the legal dividing line between Chapters 61 and 62. Another misclassification is 6103.41, which is the corresponding code for men's or boys' wool knit trousers. If the pants are made of a wool-synthetic blend where the synthetic fiber predominates by weight, they should be classified under 6104.63 instead of 6104.61.

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).
