Clothing is split between two chapters of the US tariff by how the fabric is made: knitted or crocheted garments go to chapter 61, and woven ones to chapter 62. Fiber content comes next, then who the garment is cut for. The rates are among the highest in the schedule, which makes the classification worth a real check. A cotton T-shirt on line 6109.10.00 pays 16.5%, the same shirt in man-made fibers on 6109.90.10 pays 32%, and women’s woven cotton trousers on 6204.62.80 pay 16.6%. Those are ordinary duties, before anything linked to the country of origin. Chapter 61 tops out at 32% ad valorem in 2026 HTS Revision 22, and most garments from China carry a further List 4A duty. The calculator on this page adds each layer and gives a cost per piece.

The order to check things in
Start with the construction, then the type of garment, then gender, then fiber. Men’s and boys’ woven shirts have their own heading, 6205, where a cotton shirt on 6205.20.20 pays 19.7%; women’s knitted cotton trousers on 6104.62.20 pay 14.9%.
Origin changes the bill
The same cotton T-shirt worth $10,000 costs $3,650 (36.5%) in duties from China, $2,900 (29%) from Vietnam and $1,650 (16.5%) from the European Union, where the country duty only tops ordinary duty up to its 10% total. A finished garment’s origin follows textile origin rules, not the port it left from. Goods from Central American partners may have a textile exemption under note 52(i).
