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 wool knit hats & beanies from China by ocean, declared at $2.00 each (FOB), about 0.1 kg each (this code also has a per-kg duty). The value is $1,000.00; duty at 45.2% + 25.4¢/kg is $464.70; 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 $468.72, or $0.94 per unit. The same shipment from Bangladesh comes to $193.72, $0.39 per unit, saving $0.55 per unit.
