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 cotton women's woven dresses from China by ocean, declared at $10.00 each (FOB). The value is $5,000.00; duty at 28.4% is $1,420.00; over $2,500 it is a formal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $34.58; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $6.25. Duty and fees come to $1,460.83, or $2.92 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $960.83, $1.92 per unit, saving $1.00 per unit.
