Last updated: September 2026 dataBlouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses of woven textile fabrics for women and girls occupy a commercially significant niche in US apparel imports, with classification hinging on both fabric construction (woven, not knitted) and the garment's design intent — a shirt-blouse that could be worn as outerwear is treated differently from an undergarment. Section 301 tariffs have affected sourcing strategies for this category, prompting some importers to diversify away from traditional manufacturing centers. Accurate fiber-content labeling under FTC rules is also a compliance requirement at entry.

A shirt-blouse is a garment that combines styling elements of both a shirt and a blouse — typically with a collar and button front — and is designed to be worn as an outer garment. CBP guidance and the Explanatory Notes to the Harmonized System clarify that the garment's primary design and end-use determine whether it falls here or under a different heading such as underwear.
Yes. At the 10-digit HTS level, duty rates often differ by fiber content — for example, silk, cotton, man-made fiber, and other fiber blouses may carry distinct rates. Importers should confirm the dominant fiber by weight and consult the current HTS schedule or a licensed customs broker to identify the correct subheading.
