6111.90.30
T-shirts, singlets and similar garments, except those imported as parts of sets (239)
Analysis
HTS 6111.90.30 covers t-shirts, singlets and similar garments, except those imported as parts of sets (239) under heading 6111 (babies' garments and clothing accessories, knitted or crocheted).
Within this group the rate runs from 0.9% to 26%. Compared with 6111.90.40 (sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar…), which pays 26%, a misclassification either way moves the duty by 26 percentage points.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 90% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 90% duty.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 5% of the 227 tariff lines in chapter 61, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 3152 (Cut and Sew Apparel Manufacturing), an industry of 3,430 US establishments employing 47,582 people. That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
