HTS Chapter 61 Classification Guide: Knitted or Crocheted Apparel
Chapter 61 covers apparel and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted, including sweaters, t-shirts, dresses, trousers, underwear, and knit fabric garments. Classification follows a garment-type hierarchy: suits, overcoats, dresses, skirts, trousers, shirts, underwear, and accessories. Fiber composition determines the subheading within each garment type.
Common Misclassification Errors
- Confusing knit apparel (Chapter 61) with woven apparel (Chapter 62) — the manufacturing method determines the chapter, not the fiber type. A cotton t-shirt is Chapter 61; a cotton dress shirt is Chapter 62
- Incorrectly determining country of origin under 19 CFR §102.21 — textile origin is where the garment is wholly assembled, not where the fabric is made
- Failing to account for UFLPA forced labor requirements for cotton products from China
Duty Calculation Tips for HTS 611692
Knit apparel faces Section 301 List 4A (7.5% additional duty) on Chinese-origin goods. USMCA provides duty-free treatment if the yarn-forward rule is met. Consider tariff preference levels (TPLs) for limited quantities of non-originating yarn/fabric. UFLPA compliance documentation is essential for cotton products from China.
Chapter 61 Frequently Asked Questions
What is the USMCA yarn-forward rule for knit apparel?
Under USMCA, knit apparel qualifies for duty-free treatment only if every component — from yarn spinning through fabric knitting to garment assembly — occurs within the USMCA region. This is called the yarn-forward rule. There are limited exceptions through Tariff Preference Levels (TPLs) and the short-supply list.
How does Section 301 affect knit apparel imports from China?
Most knit apparel from China faces Section 301 List 4A additional duties of 7.5% on top of the regular MFN duty (which ranges from 5-32%). This makes the total effective duty rate significantly higher than sourcing from FTA countries.
What is the UFLPA and how does it affect cotton apparel imports?
The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) creates a rebuttable presumption that goods produced wholly or partially in Xinjiang are made with forced labor and are prohibited from entry. Importers of cotton knit apparel from China must provide supply chain documentation tracing cotton to farms outside Xinjiang.
How is country of origin determined for knit apparel?
Under 19 CFR §102.21, the origin of knit apparel is determined by where the garment is wholly assembled (cut and sewn). This is different from the substantial transformation test used for other goods. If assembly occurs in multiple countries, the most important assembly step determines origin.
Are there Tariff Preference Levels (TPLs) for knit apparel?
Yes. TPLs under USMCA allow limited quantities of knit apparel made with non-originating yarn or fabric to still qualify for preferential duty rates. TPLs are product-specific and quantity-limited annually. Once the annual quota is filled, full MFN rates apply. Check current TPL fill levels before planning imports.
