US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in dozens and kilograms.

For statistics it divides in two: 6505.00.04.10 for for men or boys and 6505.00.04.50 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 37% of the 19 tariff lines in chapter 65 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
