Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 6212 encompasses brassieres, girdles, corsets, braces, suspenders, garters, and similar articles and parts thereof, whether or not knitted or crocheted. The classification includes subcategories for brassieres (6212.10), girdles/panty-girdles (6212.20), corselettes (6212.30), and other foundation garments (6212.90). This specialized category focuses on structured undergarments providing support and shaping functions. Products range from everyday brassieres to specialized shapewear and medical support garments. Technical specifications focus on precise fitting measurements, elasticity, recovery after stretching, and durability through repeated laundering. Unlike regular apparel, these items typically incorporate specialized components including underwires, hook-and-eye closures, adjustable straps, and engineered elastic panels. This division represents complex garment engineering combining comfort requirements with sophisticated structural support functions, often involving multiple specialized components assembled through precise manufacturing techniques to create three-dimensional shaping garments.
