Importers of Men's & Boys' Cotton Underpants and Briefs (Woven) paid $967K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $6.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataWoven cotton underpants and briefs for men and boys enter the US under a single 10-digit line, 6207110000, making fiber content and construction method the primary classification gatekeepers — any knitted construction shifts the article to Chapter 61. Vietnam leads US supply of this category, followed by Bangladesh and India, reflecting the concentration of woven innerwear production across South and Southeast Asia. Importers should confirm cut-and-sew construction documentation, as CBP scrutinizes the knit/woven distinction closely at entry.

The critical distinction is fabric construction: woven fabrics (interlaced warp and weft yarns) classify under heading 6207, while knitted or crocheted fabrics fall under Chapter 61. Importers should retain fabric construction certifications and mill certificates to support the woven classification if CBP requests verification.
For most free-trade-agreement programs, textile and apparel articles must meet a tariff shift rule — often yarn-forward — meaning the yarn used to weave the fabric must originate in the qualifying country. Importers sourcing from Vietnam, Bangladesh, or India should verify whether their supply chain meets any applicable preference program's textile rule of origin before claiming reduced duties.
