HS HEADING 6103

Suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, shorts (not swimwear); men's or boys', knitted or crocheted

In plain English

This category covers men’s and boys’ knitted or crocheted clothing items, including suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, and various types of pants and shorts. The specific subcategories organize these garments by their primary material composition. Some groups are defined by the use of wool, fine animal hair, cotton, or synthetic fibers, while others cover textile materials that do not fall into those specific categories.

Chapter 61 classification notes

One of the most heavily traded chapters globally. Duty rates range from 12-32% depending on destination and fiber content. Rules of origin are critical — yarn-forward rule applies in many FTAs. Quota restrictions may apply.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

The knitted vs woven distinction (Chapter 61 vs 62) depends on the construction method, not appearance. Jersey fabric is knitted (Ch. 61). Cotton vs synthetic content changes the HS subheading.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
