About suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, shorts (not swimwear); men's or boys', knitted or crocheted

HS code 6103 covers a wide range of men's and boys' knitted or crocheted garments, including suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts (excluding swimwear). This industry plays a significant role in the global textile and apparel trade, meeting the demand for comfortable, versatile, and fashionable menswear. As a key component of the broader 61 Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted sector, the 6103 industry contributes to the economic development and employment opportunities in many countries around the world.

Production process

The production of the garments covered under HS code 6103 typically involves a combination of knitting or crocheting techniques, along with cutting, sewing, and finishing processes. Knitting machines, both manual and automated, are used to create the desired fabric structures, while crocheting is often done by hand. The cut-and-sew operations shape the fabric into the final garment designs, which are then subjected to various finishing steps, such as pressing, trimming, and the addition of buttons, zippers, and other accessories.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 6103 industry include high-quality yarns, both natural (e.g., wool, cotton, silk) and synthetic (e.g., polyester, nylon), as well as specialized knitting and sewing machines. Skilled labor, particularly in the areas of pattern design, cutting, and sewing, is also a crucial input. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of ancillary materials, such as buttons, zippers, and other trimmings, to complete the final garments.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 6103 industry are the various types of men's and boys' knitted or crocheted garments, including suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts. These products are then consumed by other industries, such as 62 Articles of apparel and clothing accessories, not knitted or crocheted, which may incorporate them into their own product lines or distribute them to retailers and consumers.
