Last updated: August 2026 dataBrassieres and their parts are classified under heading 6212.10, with the US tariff schedule subdividing by fiber composition and the presence or absence of lace, net, or embroidery. Cotton brassieres (6212100010), manmade-fiber brassieres (6212100020), and those of other textile materials (6212100030) form the primary fiber-based split; additional lines separate goods containing lace, net, or embroidery from plain constructions, and a further distinction applies to articles with 70% or more silk content by weight. Correct classification requires knowing both the chief fiber and whether decorative lace or net trim is present, as these two variables together determine the applicable 10-digit line.

The US schedule creates separate 10-digit lines for brassieres that contain lace, net, or embroidery versus those that do not, within each fiber category. For example, cotton brassieres with lace or embroidery (6212105010) are classified differently from plain cotton brassieres (6212109010). Importers should confirm with the manufacturer whether any lace, net, or embroidered trim is incorporated, as even minor decorative elements can shift the classification.
Yes. Several 10-digit lines under 6212.10 explicitly cover 'brassieres and parts thereof,' meaning cut components or unassembled parts intended for brassieres can be classified here rather than as generic textile cut pieces, provided they are identifiable as brassiere parts. Importers should document the intended end use and construction stage to support this classification.
