U.S. imports of women's & girls' woven synthetic fiber skirts & divided skirts (HS 620453) totaled $21.3M in August 2026, imported from 86 countries.
Importers of Women's & Girls' Woven Synthetic Fiber Skirts & Divided Skirts paid $5.8M in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 27.35% of the $21.3M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataWoven skirts and divided skirts of synthetic fibers—polyester, nylon, and related man-made filament or staple constructions—are sourced heavily from Vietnam and China, which together account for the bulk of US imports under this heading. The schedule separates garments with 36% or more wool or fine animal hair (6204532010/6204532020) from those below that threshold (6204533010/6204533020), with a certified folklore line (6204531000) rounding out the structure. Goods originating in China carry Section 301 tariff exposure, making Vietnam and Indonesia increasingly attractive sourcing alternatives for cost-sensitive buyers.

A divided skirt (sometimes called a culottes or skort) has a bifurcated lower section resembling shorts but is designed to appear as a skirt. Under heading 620453, both skirts and divided skirts are explicitly included and classified together—there is no separate tariff line for divided skirts versus traditional skirts within this heading. The garment's chief fiber content and construction drive line selection, not whether it is divided.
Importers must ensure that the garments genuinely originate in Vietnam under the substantial transformation standard—meaning the fabric is cut and sewn in Vietnam, not merely finished there after Chinese fabric processing. CBP has scrutinized transshipment in apparel categories; supporting documentation should include fabric mill certificates, cut-and-sew records, and a country-of-origin determination. Consulting a licensed customs broker before the first shipment is advisable.
