Last updated: April 2026 dataManmade-fiber neckwear — covering both synthetic (polyester, nylon) and artificial (rayon) fiber ties and bow ties — classifies under a single 10-digit line (6215200000) when woven. China is the leading supplier, with Vietnam and Cambodia growing as alternative sources as importers seek to mitigate Section 301 exposure on Chinese-origin goods. Fiber content by weight governs classification, and ties with a mixed fiber construction must be tested to confirm the predominant fiber before the correct heading can be assigned.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes, provided manmade fibers (synthetic or artificial combined) predominate by weight over any other single fiber class. If polyester and rayon together constitute the majority fiber content, the article remains within 6215.20. However, if the lining pushes another fiber — such as cotton — to predominance, reclassification to 6215.90 may be required.
With Chinese-origin goods subject to Section 301 tariffs, many importers have shifted production to Vietnam and Cambodia, both of which have grown as sourcing hubs for woven neckwear. Importers should ensure that substantial transformation occurs in the claimed country of origin to support non-China origin declarations, as CBP scrutinizes cut-and-sew operations that merely assemble Chinese-origin fabric.
