How to Find the Right HS Code for Clothing

Fabric composition matters most

Cotton, wool, synthetic, and silk each land in different subheadings under HS Chapter 61 (knitted) or Chapter 62 (woven). Always declare fiber content accurately — customs audits check certificates.

Knitted vs woven is the first split

Chapter 61 covers knitted/crocheted garments. Chapter 62 covers woven garments. T-shirts, sweaters, and hosiery are almost always Chapter 61. Jeans, dress shirts, and jackets are usually Chapter 62.

Gender and age affect the HS code

The same jacket classified as "men's" (6201) carries a different rate than "women's" (6202) in many markets. Children's garments often get preferential rates.

Shopify merchants: add HS codes to product metafields
