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.
Worked example: one shipment
Say you ship 500 synthetic knit scarves & shawls from China by ocean, declared at $2.00 each (FOB). The value is $1,000.00; duty at 23.8% is $238.00; at $2,500 or less it is an informal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $2.77; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $1.25. Duty and fees come to $242.02, or $0.48 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $217.02, $0.43 per unit, saving $0.05 per unit.
| Item | China | Bangladesh |
