<![CDATA[Knitted women's clothing (HS 6104) is one of the textile commodities that contributes to Indonesia's export performance. However, the dynamics of global trade and changes in the economic conditions of destination countries cause the competitiveness of this commodity to continue to face challenges in the international market, especially the United States as one of the main export destinations. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the competitiveness of Indonesian knitted women's clothing (HS 6104) exports to the United States during the period 1994–2024. Competitiveness analysis was conducted using Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) which is a transformation of the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) index, while the influence of independent variables was analyzed using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. The variables used include United States GDP per capita, Real Exchange Rate (RER), United States import tariffs for HS 6104 commodities, and United States imports of HS 6104 from the world as a proxy for market demand. This study is expected to provide input in developing strategies to increase the competitiveness of Indonesian knitted women's clothing exports in the United States market]]>
