Swimwear & Activewear HS Codes

About Swimwear & Activewear HS Codes

This category covers swimwear, split across two chapters by how the garment is made. HS code 6112.41.00 covers women's or girls' swimwear, knitted or crocheted, of synthetic fibres — bikinis, one-piece swimsuits and tankinis in nylon-elastane or polyester-spandex tricot. HS code 6211.11.00 covers men's or boys' swimwear of man-made fibres in woven form — polyester boardshorts and quick-dry swim trunks. Both entries on this page are swimwear; tracksuits and other activewear sit elsewhere in the dataset, so check the HS finder if your product is not swimwear.

Reading the codes: construction comes first. Chapter 61, Knitted or Crocheted Apparel, holds the knitted entry; chapter 62, Woven Apparel & Garments, holds the woven entry. Within each chapter, the heading splits by wearer — 6112 for women's or girls' track suits, ski suits and swimwear, and 6211 for men's or boys' track suits, ski suits, swimwear and other garments — and the subheading then pins down swimwear of synthetic or man-made fibres. The detail page for each code shows the full description, material, related codes and any duty note that record carries.

Before declaring, check three things in order: construction (knitted or woven), wearer (men's or boys' versus women's or girls'), and fibre (synthetic or man-made fibre versus other fibres). Getting any one of the three wrong moves the product to a different code. The knitted entry also notes chlorine resistance, UV protection testing and hygienic sanitary liner stickers — confirm the current buyer and market requirements before shipping. Duty notes appear on detail pages only where the record carries one, so never assume a duty figure for a code on this page.
