Chapter 61: Articles of apparel, knitted

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 611020 when importing or exporting knitted or crocheted jerseys, pullovers, cardigans, or waistcoats made of cotton. For example, if you're shipping a batch of cotton pullovers from Bangladesh to the U.S., this is the code you need.

This code specifically applies to cotton garments, distinguishing them from similar articles made of synthetic fibers or wool, which fall under different HS codes. For instance, HS-6 611030 covers those made of synthetic fibers.

When classifying your products, note that HS-6 611020 is limited to items that are knitted or crocheted. If you have woven cotton garments, they would not qualify under this line and would need a different classification.

Be aware that the specific details of the garment, such as whether it is a pullover or a cardigan, can impact classification. Always ensure your product fits the description for this HS-6.
