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.
Importing Under HTS 611692: What Importers Ask
How is country of origin determined for textile products?
Textile country of origin is determined under 19 CFR §102.21 — generally where the fabric was woven or the garment was wholly assembled. This is stricter than the substantial transformation test used for other goods. UFLPA documentation requirements apply to cotton products.
Can USMCA reduce my textile import duties to zero?
Yes, if the product meets the USMCA yarn-forward rule: yarn must be spun, fabric woven, and garment assembled in USMCA territory. Provide a valid USMCA certificate of origin. Without meeting yarn-forward, the MFN rate applies, which for apparel can be 5-32%.
What forced labor documentation does CBP require for this classification?
Under the UFLPA, CBP presumes all cotton and textile products linked to Xinjiang involve forced labor. Importers must provide a supply chain traceability certificate proving the product did not pass through the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. CBP detains non-compliant shipments at the port.

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.

For the specific subheading HTS 611692, we recommend you:
- Verify the correct 10-digit statistical suffix — even within a 6-digit subheading, duty rates can differ significantly between suffixes
- Check FTA eligibility — if your product qualifies for preferential treatment under USMCA, KORUS, or another FTA, you may reduce or eliminate duties by providing the required origin certification
- Monitor for trade remedy changes — Section 301, Section 232, and anti-dumping duties are updated periodically. A rate that was correct last quarter may have changed
- Consult CBP resources — for binding classification rulings, CBP's National Commodity Specialist Division provides written determinations
