U.S. imports of other knit cotton garments (nesoi) (HS 611420) totaled $27.9M in August 2026, imported from 81 countries.
Importers of Other Knit Cotton Garments (NESOI) paid $5.7M in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 20.26% of the $27.9M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule. Other Knit Cotton Garments (NESOI) imports of $27.9M in August 2026 ran 22% below the year-to-date monthly average of $35.9M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataKnitted or crocheted cotton garments that do not fit more specific Chapter 61 headings — such as tops, jumpers, bodysuits, sunsuits, and overalls — are captured here as a residual 'not elsewhere specified or included' category. Vietnam and China lead US supply, with Indonesia, India, and Nicaragua also significant; Nicaragua's presence reflects its proximity and trade-agreement advantages for US-bound apparel. The heading's breadth means classification disputes often arise when a garment could plausibly fall under a more specific heading (e.g., T-shirts under 6109, or track suits under 6112), making a careful review of Chapter 61 notes essential before entry.

Tops and pullovers are frequent misclassification candidates: T-shirts and singlets belong under 6109, jerseys and pullovers under 6110, and track suits under 6112. Heading 6114.20 is a true residual — it applies only after confirming the garment does not fit a more specific heading. Importers should work through the Chapter 61 headings in order before defaulting to 6114.
Nicaragua is a beneficiary country under the Dominican Republic–Central America–United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR). Cotton knit garments that meet CAFTA-DR rules of origin — generally requiring yarn-forward production within the region — may qualify for preferential duty treatment, which is a meaningful cost advantage for US importers sourcing from Nicaraguan manufacturers.
