HS Code for Wool pullover
The HS code 6110.11 is assigned to jerseys, pullovers, cardigans, waistcoats, and similar articles that are knitted or crocheted and made of wool. This heading (6110) is one of the most common in the textile trade, covering a wide range of upper-body garments. The specific subheading 6110.11 is restricted to those made of wool, excluding specific types of fine animal hair like cashmere, which has its own dedicated subheading (6110.12). A pullover is defined as a garment designed to cover the upper part of the body, usually without an opening at the front, intended to be pulled over the head. The classification requires the garment to be constructed via knitting, which provides elasticity and warmth. If the garment is made of a blend, the wool content must usually be the predominant fiber by weight to maintain this classification. This code is used globally to regulate the import of knitwear, and it is subject to various trade agreements and quotas depending on the country of origin and the specific wool grade used. The term "similar articles" includes garments like sweatshirts and sweaters, provided they meet the knitted construction requirement.

Another common error is 6110.20 (cotton) or 6110.30 (man-made fibers) if the fiber content is misidentified. Additionally, woven wool sweaters are classified under Chapter 62 (e.g., 6211), not 6110, which is strictly for knitted or crocheted items.
