Work out Socks in the calculator
Ordinary socks. Socks with lace or net, tights and compression hosiery use other codes.
Not on an active Section 301 China list (only on the suspended List 4B), so goods from China pay no Section 301 China tariff: 6115.96.90, 6115.99.19.
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.
