Last updated: August 2026 dataConstructed from cotton, silk-content fabrics, or other non-synthetic textiles, women's and girls' knit swimwear under this heading is subdivided by fiber type: cotton (6112490010), fabrics containing at least 70% silk by weight (6112490015), and all other materials (6112490090). China and Sri Lanka are the leading US suppliers, with Italy a notable source reflecting demand for premium cotton and silk-blend styles. As with the parallel men's heading, precise fiber-content documentation is the central compliance requirement, and the 70% silk threshold is a common classification edge case that warrants laboratory verification.

Yes — if the chief weight of the fabric is cotton (or another non-synthetic fiber), the garment classifies under 6112.49 even if a minor elastane component is present. The chief-weight rule governs fiber classification for mixed-composition fabrics. Importers should confirm the dominant fiber by weight with a mill certificate or lab report.
Italy's swimwear industry has a strong heritage in premium cotton and silk-blend fabrications, particularly for fashion-forward or luxury brands. These higher-value styles are less price-sensitive to labor-cost differentials, which is why Italy competes alongside lower-cost Asian producers in this specific material category.
