Last updated: August 2026 dataKnitted and crocheted sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, and vests of manmade fibers occupy a particularly complex classification space because the US schedule further subdivides by secondary fiber content — lines under 6110301xxx apply when the article contains 25% or more leather, 6110301510–6110301580 when it contains 23% or more wool or fine animal hair, and 6110302xxx when silk content reaches 30% or more. Vietnam and China are the dominant suppliers, with Honduras a notable third-ranked source reflecting its role in Western Hemisphere apparel manufacturing. Goods from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin verification and accurate fiber-blend documentation especially important for cost modeling.

The US tariff schedule for HTS 611030 creates distinct 10-digit lines based on whether the article contains threshold amounts of leather (≥25%), wool or fine animal hair (≥23%), or silk (≥30%). A garment that crosses one of these thresholds is classified under a different line — and potentially a different duty rate — than a standard MMF sweater, so lab-certified fiber analysis is a practical necessity.
Honduras is a beneficiary country under the Dominican Republic–Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR), which can provide preferential duty treatment for qualifying apparel. Whether a specific MMF knitwear shipment qualifies depends on meeting the agreement's rules-of-origin requirements, including yarn-forward provisions. Importers should verify eligibility with a licensed customs broker.
