6109
T-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted
Analysis
Heading 6109 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers t-shirts, singlets, tank tops and similar garments, knitted or crocheted. It divides into 2 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 35 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 29.4 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 32%, applies to 6109.90.10 (of man-made fibers).
None of its 5 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 2.6% to 32% with a median of 16%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
Its median rate of 16% sits at the 77th percentile of the headings in chapter 61.
The largest subheadings are 6109.90 (of other textile materials, 4 lines) and 6109.10 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing (3152). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
