Last updated: August 2026 dataCotton knit briefs and panties for women and girls are a high-volume intimate apparel staple, with Bangladesh the leading US import source — a reflection of that country's deep investment in cotton knit cut-and-sew capacity. The heading splits women's (6108210010) from girls' (6108210020) articles at the 10-digit level. Vietnam and Sri Lanka are the next-largest suppliers, and the category's broad retail distribution makes consistent sizing and labeling compliance under FTC fiber content rules a routine compliance consideration.

All textile apparel sold in the US must comply with the FTC's Textile Fiber Products Identification Act, requiring accurate fiber content labeling (e.g., '100% Cotton'), country of origin, and manufacturer or importer identification. CBP enforces country-of-origin marking at entry, and FTC can pursue enforcement for misleading fiber content claims in the retail channel.
Each size range must be classified at the correct 10-digit line — 6108210010 for women's and 6108210020 for girls'. Mixed shipments should be itemized on the commercial invoice by size range and quantity so CBP can assess duties at the appropriate line for each portion of the entry.
