This is an estimate, not a customs ruling. The right code depends on fiber content, knit or woven construction, gender and use; 23%+ wool, water-resistant fabrics, hand-loomed goods and other special cases can use other codes. Confirm with a licensed customs broker before you import.
Say you ship 500 silk men's knit shirts & polos from China by ocean, declared at $6.00 each (FOB). The value is $3,000.00; duty at 13.4% is $402.00; over $2,500 it is a formal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $34.58; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $3.75. Duty and fees come to $440.33, or $0.88 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $365.33, $0.73 per unit, saving $0.15 per unit.
