What decides the code
A knitted women's bikini of synthetic fibers is classified under heading 6112, specifically 6112.41.00.10 for women's swimwear of synthetic fibers.
- The bikini is knitted, not woven, so it falls under heading 6112 for knitted swimwear.
- The fiber content is synthetic (nylon or polyester), which leads to subheading 6112.41.
- The garment is for women, which places it in the women's statistical line 6112.41.00.10.
Common mistakes
- Classifying under 6112.41.00.20 for girls' swimwear is wrong because the bikini is sized for women.
- Using heading 6104 for women's knitted suits is incorrect because bikinis are swimwear, not suits.
- Assigning heading 6211 for other women's garments is wrong because bikinis are specifically covered by heading 6112.
