What if my skirts have decorative elements?

As long as the skirts are made from non-knitted or crocheted textile materials, they can still be classified under HS-6 620459, regardless of decorative elements.

Is there a difference between HS-6 620459 and HS-6 620460?

If you're unsure, consult with a customs broker or refer to customs rulings for guidance on the specific characteristics of your skirts.

Are there any specific customs duties for importing these skirts?

Customs duties can vary based on the country of import and the specific textile materials used. Check with your local customs authority for detailed rates.

How do I determine the right HS code for my skirts?

Identify the material and construction of the skirts. If they are made from non-knitted textile materials, HS-6 620459 is likely the correct code.

Can I use this code for skirts made from blended fabrics?

HS-6 620459: Skirts and divided skirts; women's or girls', of textile materials n.e.c. in item no. 6204.5 (not knitted or crocheted)

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 620459 when importing or exporting women's or girls' skirts made from textile materials that are not knitted or crocheted. For example, a shipment of cotton A-line skirts would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers skirts and divided skirts crafted from various textile materials, excluding those made from knitted or crocheted fabrics. If you're dealing with a shipment of polyester blend skirts, this is the correct classification.

In contrast, HS-6 620460 applies to skirts made from other materials, such as leather or synthetic blends, which are also not knitted or crocheted. Understanding these distinctions can help avoid misclassification and potential customs issues.
