Last updated: August 2026 dataVietnam leads US imports under this heading, followed by Cambodia and Bangladesh, reflecting the broad shift of cotton knitwear production to Southeast Asia. The US schedule is unusually granular here: separate 10-digit lines distinguish men's/boys' from women's/girls' garments, sweatshirts from sweater-style pullovers, and articles containing at least 36% flax fibers (lines 6110201010–6110201033) from those with lower flax content — a fiber-threshold split that directly affects classification and applicable duty rates. Importers sourcing cotton fleece sweatshirts (lines 6110202040–6110202049) should note these are classified separately from sweater-type pullovers, making construction and fiber content documentation critical at entry.

The US tariff schedule splits cotton knitwear at a 36% flax fiber threshold. Garments containing 36% or more flax fibers by weight fall under the 6110201xxx lines, while those below that threshold are classified under 6110202xxx lines. Accurate fiber content testing and documentation are essential to avoid misclassification.
No. The US schedule maintains distinct 10-digit lines for sweatshirts (e.g., 6110202040–6110202049) separate from sweater-style pullovers and vests. The distinction turns on garment construction and trade category, so importers should confirm the correct line with a licensed customs broker before entry.
