What decides the code
Knitted women's leggings are classified as trousers in heading 6104, with the fiber content deciding between 6104.63.20.11 for synthetics and 6104.62.20.11 for cotton.
- Fiber content decides the subheading. Polyester and spandex and nylon and spandex fall under 6104.63.20.11. Cotton falls under 6104.62.20.11.
- Knitted construction places the garment in heading 6104. A woven legging would fall in heading 6204 instead.
- Women's styling keeps the garment in the women's trousers lines of heading 6104. Girls' sizing moves it to the girls' lines.
Common mistakes
- Classifying leggings as hosiery under heading 6115 is wrong. Leggings have a waistband and cover the hips and legs like trousers.
- Using heading 6104.62 for polyester and spandex leggings is wrong. That line covers cotton, not synthetic fibers.
- Classifying knit leggings under heading 6204 is wrong. Heading 6204 covers woven garments, not knitted ones.
