HTS 6203 “Suit” Definition: What Import Planning Must Match
For US import planning under Chapter 62, the HTS notes for headings 6203 and 6204 define a “suit” as a set of two or three pieces of identical fabric that includes (i) one suit coat or jacket whose outer shell, exclusive of sleeves, consists of four or more panels (possibly with a tailored waistcoat), and (ii) one lower garment (trousers, breeches, or shorts other than swimwear, etc.). All components must share the same fabric construction, colour, and composition, and be of the same style and corresponding or compatible size (HTS search 6203.11; Chapter 62 notes).
Shi Yuan does not give customs classification advice. We match make to your written style (2-piece / 3-piece). Confirm classification with your broker when shipping jacket+trouser sets versus separates.
Why the four-or-more-panels note matters
| Planning question | What to put in writing |
|---|---|
| Is it a suit set or separates? | 2-piece / 3-piece set vs standalone jacket / standalone trouser SKUs |
| Jacket shell panels | Style that meets your broker’s reading of “four or more panels” (excl. sleeves) |
| Fabric identity | Same construction, colour, composition across components |
| Size compatibility | Corresponding / compatible sizing across pieces |
| Factory scope | We cut/sew to the written style; broker decides HTS line |
