Last updated: July 2026 dataKnitted blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses for women and girls are classified separately from woven tops, with the knit or crochet construction being the threshold distinction. The heading is a core category for fast-fashion and mid-market apparel importers, where fiber content — particularly cotton versus man-made fiber — drives both duty rate and quota-monitoring obligations. Correct identification of whether a garment is a 'blouse' versus a 'T-shirt' or 'jersey' (which fall under a different heading) is a recurring classification challenge.
