HSN Code 6204 — Women's Suits, Dresses & Trousers (Woven)
HSN heading 6204 covers woven women's suits, dresses, skirts, and trousers — but not knitted versions, or women's blouses/shirts, coded elsewhere.
6204 is the mirror of 6109's split, but for woven rather than knitted garments: this is the primary heading for women's and girls' outerwear made from woven fabric — suits, dresses, skirts, trousers, and shorts. If the identical-looking garment is made from knitted fabric instead, it falls under the corresponding Chapter 61 heading (6104), not here.
Within 6204, the 8-digit lines split by garment type (suit vs dress vs skirt vs trousers) and by fibre content (cotton, wool, synthetic, silk, and blends each often carry their own line), which is where the precise code and its rate actually get determined.
Blouses and shirts, despite also being women's woven upper-body garments, sit under a separate heading (6206) rather than being grouped with dresses and suits — the tariff treats them as a distinct garment category.

Frequently asked questions
Is a knitted dress classified under 6204?
No — 6204 is specifically for woven garments. A knitted dress falls under the corresponding Chapter 61 heading (6104) instead, even though it's the same garment type.
Are women's blouses grouped with dresses under 6204?
No — blouses and shirts have their own heading, 6206, separate from suits, dresses, skirts, and trousers under 6204.
Does fibre content (cotton vs synthetic vs silk) change the code?
Yes — at the 8-digit level, fibre content is usually one of the factors that determines the exact line and its GST rate. Confirm the precise code for your specific garment's fabric on the GST portal.
