Last updated: April 2026 dataCotton-based apparel and household goods represent one of the most heavily traded end-use categories in US import statistics, spanning garments, bed linens, towels, and similar consumer products made predominantly from cotton fiber. Duty rates across this category vary by article type and construction, and many cotton textile and apparel lines are subject to Section 301 tariffs depending on country of origin. Importers should also be aware that country-of-origin rules for textiles and apparel are fiber-forward or yarn-forward under most US trade agreements, making accurate origin documentation essential for classification and duty assessment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
For textile and apparel articles, US Customs and Border Protection generally applies a yarn-forward or fiber-forward rule of origin, meaning the country where the yarn is spun (or fiber processed) is typically determinative. This is distinct from the substantial transformation standard used for most other goods, so importers must trace the production chain carefully to assign the correct origin.
Many cotton apparel and household goods lines sourced from certain countries are subject to Section 301 tariffs. The applicability depends on the specific HTS subheading and the declared country of origin, so importers should verify current Section 301 lists and any applicable exclusions before entry.
