Importers of Women's & Girls' Knit Swimwear of Synthetic Fibers paid $5.0M in duties in August 2026, an effective tariff rate of 34.85% of the $14.2M imported — duty actually collected as a share of that value, not the published tariff schedule.

Last updated: August 2026 dataElastane yarn content is the primary classification variable within this heading: the US schedule splits women's and girls' swimwear of synthetic fibers into four 10-digit lines based on whether the garment contains 5% or more elastic yarn (6112410010 for women's, 6112410020 for girls') or less than 5% (6112410030 for women's, 6112410040 for girls'). Vietnam leads US supply in this category, followed by China and Indonesia — a sourcing profile that reflects both Section 301 exposure on Chinese-origin goods and the growth of Vietnam's apparel export sector. Accurate elastic yarn percentage declarations on entry documentation are essential to avoid reclassification penalties.

The threshold is measured by weight of the elastic (elastomeric) yarn as a percentage of the total fabric weight. Importers should obtain fiber composition test reports from the manufacturer or an accredited laboratory, as CBP may request this data during examination or in a CF-28 request for information.
For textile and apparel goods, US origin rules generally apply the 'substantial transformation' test or, under certain trade agreements, specific tariff shift rules. For knit swimwear, the country where the fabric is knitted and the garment is cut and sewn typically determines origin. Importers sourcing from Vietnam should verify that fabric formation and assembly both occur there to support a Vietnamese origin claim.
