Last updated: April 2026 dataApparel and household textile goods exported from the United States — including garments, bed linens, towels, and similar fabricated textile articles — occupy a trade category shaped by fiber content, construction method, and country-of-destination tariff schedules. US textile and apparel exports often involve cut-and-sew operations using US-formed fabric, which can qualify for preferential treatment under trade preference programs in destination markets that recognize US-content rules. Exporters should classify each article at the Schedule B 10-digit level, as duty rates in foreign markets and any applicable quota or safeguard treatment abroad are determined at that granular level rather than at the aggregate end-use category.

Schedule B classification for textiles and apparel is primarily driven by the chief-weight fiber (e.g., cotton, man-made fiber, wool) and the article's construction (woven, knit, nonwoven). Exporters must identify the predominant fiber by weight for each article, as the correct Schedule B number — and the corresponding foreign tariff treatment — depends on this determination.
Most markets require a commercial invoice with fiber content and country-of-origin declarations, a packing list, and — for preference claims — a certificate or declaration of origin. Some markets also require textile import licenses or impose labeling requirements (care instructions, fiber content labels) that must be affixed before the goods enter retail channels.
