HS Code for Wool shorts
Women's or girls' wool shorts are classified under HS code 6204.61. This classification is situated within Chapter 62, which encompasses articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6204 specifically covers women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. The subheading 6204.61 is the specific destination for these garments when they are composed of wool or fine animal hair. Classification requires that the garment be woven; if the shorts were knitted, they would be classified under heading 6104. Additionally, the gender of the garment is a primary determinant; shorts designed for men or boys are classified under heading 6203. The material composition must be predominantly wool or fine animal hair by weight. In cases of fiber blends, the rules of Section XI apply, generally directing the classification to the textile material that predominates by weight. This code is essential for customs authorities to apply the correct duty rates, which often differ significantly between wool and synthetic garments.
