Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 610444 when importing or exporting women's or girls' dresses made of artificial fibers, knitted or crocheted. For example, a shipment of a knee-length, sleeveless dress made from polyester would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers dresses constructed from synthetic materials like polyester or nylon, distinguishing them from similar items under HS-6 610443, which pertains to dresses made of cotton. If your product is made from cotton, you will need to classify it differently.

When classifying dresses, consider the design and fabric type. For instance, a long-sleeve dress made from a blend of artificial fibers would also qualify under this code, while a dress made from natural fibers would not.

Keep in mind that the classification can affect tariffs and regulations. If you’re unsure whether your product fits this code, consult with a customs broker for guidance.
