HS Code 6111Garments and clothing accessories, babies'; knitted or crocheted

What HS code 6111 covers

Every item must be knitted or crocheted. If the fabric is woven, the item is classified elsewhere, so the way the fabric is made is the first thing to check.

The heading sits in Chapter 61 apparel, which belongs to Section XI textiles. Some countries call the same code an HSN code 6111. The first six digits are the same in every country that uses the system.

Buyers often search for babies knit garments or baby clothing accessories. Both ideas land here, as long as the item is made for a baby and is knitted or crocheted.

How to choose the right 6111 code

Once you know the item belongs in 6111, the next step is the six-digit subheadings. The split is by fibre. Look at the fabric label, the mill certificate or the supplier's product sheet.

Use this short guide:

• 611120: cotton babies' garments. Use it when the garment is made of cotton.
• 611130: synthetic fibres babies' garments. Think polyester, nylon or acrylic.
• 611190: other textile materials. Use it for anything that is neither cotton nor synthetic, such as wool or silk.

Tariff classification beyond six digits

Countries add their own tariff lines after the first six digits. Duty and import rules depend on that national line, not on the six-digit code alone. For blended fabrics, find out which fibre weighs the most and ask a customs broker if you are unsure.

Before you ship, check your choice with the HS code classifier. A wrong code can cause delays at the border, so it is worth a few minutes.

Items classified elsewhere in Chapter 61

Not every knitted baby item belongs in 6111. Other knitted clothing accessories and parts of garments are in heading 6117.

Two more neighbours often cause mix-ups. Jerseys, pullovers and cardigans are in 6110. Read the heading text and the chapter notes before you decide, because the age and size rules can change the answer.

If your product is a mix of items, such as a gift set, classify each piece on its own unless the rules say otherwise.
