Learning HS Code For Sweater

Each HS code determines what goods is about, and each goods has a specific HS code which different to each other. A HS code is containing ten digits numbers. For the first-sixth digits of an HS code will be same in all countries. And the rest digits will be different from one country to each other.

Now, we are going to learn HS code for sweater. Two things we should understand when we want to decide what the HS code of each sweater is to be. Firstly, we have to check the styling of the sweater. The following list will give you some examples of styles or design  I have ever seen:

1. Cardigan, jerseys, or sweater. This styles have the same HS code. The first- four digits of the HS code is 6110.
2. Dress pullover. This style will have 6104  for the first-four digits of the HS code.
3. Sweater for baby. Sweater for baby who the age is under 3 year old, the HS code is 6111. However, starting 3 year the HS code will be in 6110. Therefore, the age is determining of the HS code, too.

The second point we have to learn to determine HS code of sweater is its yarn. I mean what kind of yarn to be used for production of the sweater, or it’s usually called the composition. After we knew first-four digits of the HS code, the next step is understanding the composition. This composition is wrote on the care label, or also written on the order sheet. For example, 100% acrylic.

Herewith a list of HS code I have written on shipping documents:

• 6110.30, this is for cardigan, jerseys, sweater, which the composition is from synthetic fiber, such as acrylic.
• 6110.20, for the sweater that the yarns is made from cotton fiber.
• 6104.43, this HS code is for dress pullover, which the yarn’s composition from synthetic fiber.
• 6111.20, this HS code for baby sweater who the age is under 3 year old and the yarn composition for the sweater is 100% cotton.

The next digit of HS code of sweater after the first-six digits is might be different from one country to each other. For example, in France, 6110.30.9900, however, in Indonesia is to become 6110.30.0000 in the same product or goods.
