HTS heading 6204 is a broad product category for women’s or girls’ apparel made from textile materials, including suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. Swimwear is excluded. The heading groups garments by their general product type; it is not, by itself, the complete tariff classification.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, start with the garment’s construction and use, then follow the subheading structure. The lower-level code commonly separates products by textile material—such as synthetic fibers, cotton, wool, or other fibers—and by garment type or other distinguishing features. Classification can also depend on details such as whether an item is a suit or separate garment, knitted or woven construction, and the garment’s principal material. Confirm the current HTSUS wording and any applicable chapter notes before filing; close cases may require a customs broker or binding ruling.
What to check
- Identify the exact garment type: for example, dress, skirt, trousers, blazer, suit, or ensemble, and confirm that it is not swimwear.
- Determine whether the item is knitted or crocheted or instead woven, because this can place it in a different HTS section or heading.
- Check the fiber content by weight and identify the material that controls classification; keep the product specification or laboratory information available.
- Review the garment’s construction and set relationship: a coordinated suit or ensemble may be classified differently from a single jacket, skirt, or pair of trousers.
- Read the full subheading text, chapter notes, and current statistical suffixes, and ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling if the facts do not clearly match one code.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
