Classification of wool knit skirt under HS 6104.51
The classification of a wool knit skirt under HS code 6104.51 is determined by its material composition, construction method, and intended user. Chapter 61 of the Harmonized System covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted. Within this chapter, heading 6104 specifically addresses women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. The subheading 6104.51 is reserved for skirts and divided skirts made specifically from wool or fine animal hair. To qualify for this classification, the garment must be primarily composed of wool fibers and must be manufactured using a knitting or crocheting process rather than being woven. This distinction is critical because the manufacturing technique significantly alters the physical properties and trade categorization of the garment. Customs authorities examine the stitch structure to confirm it is a knit fabric. If the skirt contains a blend of fibers, the classification follows the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI), typically assigning the code based on the material that provides the essential character or represents the highest weight percentage. The term "fine animal hair" includes fibers from the alpaca, llama, vicuna, camel, yak, Angora, Tibetan, or similar goats, but excludes common goat hair or horsehair.

Codes often confused with 6104.51
Common mistake. A frequent error is classifying these items under HS code 6204.51, which is for woven wool skirts. The distinction lies entirely in the fabric construction (knitted vs. woven). Another common mistake is using 6104.53, which is designated for skirts made of synthetic fibers like polyester, even if they are knitted to look like wool. Additionally, if the skirt is part of a set that qualifies as a "suit" or "ensemble," it might be classified under the specific suit codes in 6104.11 or 6104.21.

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).
