Analysis
Heading 6114 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers other garments, knitted or crocheted. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 7 eight-digit tariff lines, with 47 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 31.1 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 32%, applies to 6114.30.20 (bodysuits and bodyshirts).
None of its 7 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 0.9% to 32% with a median of 12%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The largest subheadings are 6114.30 (of man-made fibers, 3 lines), 6114.90 (of other textile materials, 3 lines) and 6114.20 (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.
Its median rate of 12% sits at the 50th percentile of the headings in chapter 61.
