Last updated: July 2026 dataWool knit sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, and vests occupy a premium segment of the US apparel import market, with the tariff schedule subdividing by gender, age group, and garment type across 10 active 10-digit lines. China dominates US supply volume, while Italy — a leading source of high-end Merino and lambswool knitwear — ranks second, reflecting the bifurcated market between mass-market and luxury wool sweaters. Importers sourcing Italian-origin goods should note that Italy does not have a bilateral FTA with the US, so MFN rates apply, and the value of the goods often makes accurate classification and valuation especially consequential.

The US schedule includes separate lines for vests that are explicitly not sweater vests (6110110050 for men's/boys', 6110110060 for women's/girls'). A traditional sweater vest — a sleeveless pullover in a sweater construction — is classified under the sweater lines, while a non-sweater-style vest (such as a knit waistcoat with a different construction) falls under the vest lines. The distinction turns on construction and commercial presentation.
At the HS6 and 10-digit level, heading 611011 covers all wool sweaters without distinguishing fiber grade or micron count — Merino, lambswool, and standard wool are all classified here. Fiber grade affects commercial value and may be relevant to customs valuation, but it does not create a separate tariff line within this heading. Cashmere (Kashmir goat fiber) is the one fine animal hair that has its own dedicated heading (611012).
