Classification notes
One of the most heavily traded chapters globally. Duty rates range from 12-32% depending on destination and fiber content. Rules of origin are critical — yarn-forward rule applies in many FTAs. Quota restrictions may apply.
Frequent misclassification
The knitted vs woven distinction (Chapter 61 vs 62) depends on the construction method, not appearance. Jersey fabric is knitted (Ch. 61). Cotton vs synthetic content changes the HS subheading.
