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 women's knit bathrobes & dressing gowns from China by ocean, declared at $3.00 each (FOB). The value is $1,500.00; duty at 13.1% is $196.50; at $2,500 or less it is an informal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $2.77; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $1.88. Duty and fees come to $201.15, or $0.40 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $163.65, $0.33 per unit, saving $0.08 per unit.
