Denim & Bottoms HS Codes

About Denim & Bottoms HS Codes

This category covers woven denim bottoms — jeans and denim trousers. The dataset holds two entries, both in chapter 62, Woven Apparel & Garments. HS code 6203.42.10 covers men's or boys' cotton denim jeans, including 5-pocket, regular, slim and relaxed fits. HS code 6204.62.10 covers women's or girls' cotton denim jeans, including skinny, mom and wide-leg fits. Both entries list cotton denim and cotton-elastane stretch denim as materials.

Reading the codes: the first two digits, 62, are the chapter, which tells you these are woven garments, not knitted ones. The first four digits split by wearer — 6203 for men's or boys', 6204 for women's or girls'. The subheadings 6203.42 and 6204.62 both mean trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts, of cotton, with denim as the fabric. Open either detail page for the full description, material detail, related codes and, where the record carries one, its duty note.

Before declaring, check wearer first, then fibre: a men's jean and a women's jean sit under different headings even when the fabric is identical, and a rigid 100% cotton jean and a stretch cotton-elastane jean both sit under these cotton subheadings on these entries. Do not declare denim fabric under these garment codes — fabric has its own chapter 52 codes, and the detail pages list related codes to compare. Garment wash processing, such as laser whisker or enzyme stone wash noted on the women's entry, is a finishing detail, not a classification driver on these entries; confirm the current tariff schedule before declaring.
