Women's or girls' singlets and other undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles
Analysis
Heading 6208 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers women's or girls' singlets and other undershirts, slips, petticoats, briefs, panties, nightdresses, pajamas, negligees, bathrobes, dressing gowns and similar articles. It divides into 8 six-digit subheadings and 15 eight-digit tariff lines, with 27 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 14.9 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 16%, applies to 6208.22.00 (of man-made fibers (651)) and 6208.92.00 (of man-made fibers).
None of its 15 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 1.1% to 16% with a median of 8.5%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The largest subheadings are 6208.99 (of other textile materials, 4 lines), 6208.19 (of other textile materials, 3 lines), 6208.29 (of other textile materials, 2 lines) and 6208.91 (of cotton, 2 lines).
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.
