🌐 HS Code Reference & Customs Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional Level Clearance Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition and Classification: Do You Really Understand "Boys' Knitted Sets"?

Boys' knitted or crocheted garments are widely used in daily wear, sports, and casual scenarios. In international trade, they are generally classified based on material (cotton vs. other) and function (sports/casual vs. regular wear).

Cotton-based knitted/crocheted garments: Covered under Chapter 61, primarily items such as sweaters, sports wear, and casual wear. Limited edition sweaters: Depending on the material composition and specific product features, they may fall into different sub-categories. If they are made of other textile materials (e.g., wool, acrylic, polyester), they need to be distinguished according to the relevant HS Code provisions.

⚠️ Key Distinction Points: - If it is a knitted/crocheted set for boys, mainly for sports or casual purposes, and made of cotton, it is generally classified under 6112.11.00; - If it is a sweater made of cotton, it is generally classified under 6110.20.20.15 or 6110.90.90.67; - If it is a "limited edition sweater" made of other textile materials (non-cotton), you need to determine whether it meets the requirements of specific sub-categories. If it does not belong to the above-mentioned cotton items, it needs to be classified according to the relevant provisions of "other textile materials."
