Not on an active Section 301 China list (only on the suspended List 4B), so goods from China pay no Section 301 China tariff: 6302.93.20.
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 synthetic towels from China by ocean, declared at $8.00 each (FOB). The value is $4,000.00; duty at 22.4% is $896.00; over $2,500 it is a formal entry, so the Merchandise Processing Fee is $34.58; the Harbor Maintenance Fee is $5.00. Duty and fees come to $935.58, or $1.87 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $835.58, $1.67 per unit, saving $0.20 per unit.
