Chapter 61
Textiles and textile articles
Chapter 61 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule sits in section XI (textiles and textile articles). It has 17 headings and 252 eight-digit tariff lines.
The spread of 32 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here.
12 of its 227 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (5%) and 215 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 32%. The median line pays 12.5%.
25 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
The most finely divided heading is 6104 (women's or girls' suits, ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, dresses…), with 44 lines; fine division usually means the rates or the trade statistics differ enough to be worth separating.
The heading with the highest median rate is 6112 (track suits, ski-suits and swimwear, knitted or crocheted) at 21.6%.
