Examples: hoodies and their codes
| Product | Code | US | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Men's 80% cotton, 20% polyester pullover hoodie | 6110.20.20.41 | 16.5% | Cotton outweighs the polyester, so the cotton line applies. |
| Women's cotton-blend sweatshirt, napped inside | 6110.20.20.46 | 16.5% | Women's cotton sweatshirt. Ruling N138435 |
| Men's 100% polyester fleece hoodie | 6110.30.30.41 | 32% | Man-made fibers, men's sweatshirt. Ruling N265190 |
| Women's polyester zip-up hoodie | 6110.30.30.45 | 32% | A full zipper does not make a knitted hoodie a jacket. |
| Merino wool hooded pullover | 6110.11.00 | 16% | Knitted wool sweaters and sweatshirts. |
Mistakes to avoid
- Zip-up hoodies are still sweatshirts. A full-length zipper does not make a knitted hoodie a jacket.
- Wind- or rain-resistant hooded jackets go to the coat headings 6101 and 6102; see the men's jacket guide.
- Synthetic hoodies with 23% or more wool drop to a lower-duty line under 6110.30; check the label before you pick the code.
- Older rulings cite earlier statistical suffixes, such as 6110.20.2045 for women's cotton sweatshirts. The first eight digits are what carry over.

Questions about hoodies codes
What is the HS code for hoodies?
Knitted hoodies and sweatshirts are heading 6110. Cotton hoodies are 6110.20 and polyester or other man-made fiber hoodies 6110.30.
Why do polyester hoodies pay more duty than cotton?
The US schedule sets a higher general rate for man-made fiber sweatshirts (6110.30.30) than for cotton ones (6110.20.20). The fiber that weighs most decides which applies.
Is a zip-up hoodie a jacket?
Usually not. A knitted hooded sweatshirt stays in 6110 with or without a zipper. Garments built for protection against wind or rain, such as anoraks, go to the coat headings 6101 and 6102.
