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 woven ties from China by ocean, declared at $2.00 each (FOB). The value is $1,000.00; duty at 27.2% is $272.00; 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 $276.02, or $0.55 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $176.02, $0.35 per unit, saving $0.20 per unit.
