Not on an active Section 301 China list (only on the suspended List 4B), so goods from China pay no Section 301 China tariff: 6215.90.00.
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 woven ties from China by ocean, declared at $2.00 each (FOB). The value is $1,000.00; duty at 17.5% is $175.00; 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 $179.02, or $0.36 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $154.02, $0.31 per unit, saving $0.05 per unit.
