Analysis
Heading 6111 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers babies' garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 19 eight-digit tariff lines, with 33 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 32 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 32%, applies to 6111.30.20 (blouses and shirts, except those imported as…) and 6111.30.30 (t-shirts, singlets and similar garments, except…).
1 of its 19 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (5%) and 18 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 32%. The median line pays 14.9%.
The largest subheadings are 6111.90 (of other textile materials, 8 lines), 6111.20 (of cotton, 6 lines) and 6111.30 (of synthetic fibers, 5 lines).
Its median rate of 14.9% sits at the 67th percentile of the headings in chapter 61.
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing (3152) and Apparel Knitting Mills (3151). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
