In international trade customs procedures, the correct HS code classification for women's dresses is a crucial step that requires careful attention. It's important to note that dresses ("Dresses" in English) have different HS codes from skirts and divided skirts ("Skirts and divided skirts"), and these categories should not be confused.
According to the latest Customs Import and Export Tariff , women's dresses are primarily classified into two major categories based on their manufacturing method: knitted or crocheted dresses, and non-knitted/non-crocheted (such as woven) dresses.
1. Knitted or Crocheted Dresses (HS Code 6104)
- 6104410000 : Knitted or crocheted dresses made of wool or fine animal hair
- 6104420000 : Cotton knitted or crocheted dresses
- 6104430010 : Synthetic fiber knitted or crocheted dresses (containing ≥23% wool or fine animal hair)
- 6104430090 : Other synthetic fiber knitted or crocheted dresses (without wool/fine animal hair, or with content below 23%)
- 6104440010 : Artificial fiber knitted or crocheted dresses (containing ≥23% wool or fine animal hair)
- 6104440090 : Other artificial fiber knitted or crocheted dresses (without wool/fine animal hair, or with content below 23%)
- 6104490010 : Silk or silk waste knitted or crocheted dresses (containing ≥70% silk)
- 6104490091/0092/0093/0099 : Knitted or crocheted dresses made of other textile materials (specific codes vary by composition)
2. Non-Knitted, Non-Crocheted Dresses (HS Code 6204)
- 6204410000 : Women's dresses made of wool or fine animal hair
- 6204420000 : Cotton women's dresses
- 6204430010 : Synthetic fiber women's dresses (containing ≥36% wool or fine animal hair)
- 6204430090 : Synthetic fiber women's dresses without wool/fine animal hair, or with content below 36%
- 6204440010 : Artificial fiber women's dresses (containing ≥36% wool or fine animal hair)
- 6204440090 : Artificial fiber women's dresses without wool/fine animal hair, or with content below 36%
- 6204491010 : Silk women's dresses (containing ≥70% silk or silk waste)
- 6204491090 : Other silk women's dresses (containing <70% silk or silk waste)
- 6204499091/9092/9093/9099 : Women's dresses made of other materials (specific codes vary by material)
For customs declarations, it's recommended to use specific product descriptions such as "cotton knitted dress" or "artificial fiber woven dress" rather than generic terms. The declared product name must match the commercial invoice and trade contract.
Important note: HS codes for dresses do not differentiate based on sleeve length (e.g., long-sleeve vs. short-sleeve dresses share the same classification).
For further clarification, consult with customs authorities or professional trade experts to ensure compliance with detailed declaration requirements.
