Knitted and crocheted briefs and panties for women and girls are a high-turnover intimate apparel category with well-established sourcing from large-scale knit manufacturers. Fiber content — cotton, man-made fiber, or blends — is the primary driver of subheading selection and duty rate. Importers should also be aware that garments combining bra and panty functions (bodysuits, for example) may require separate classification analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should a knitted thong or g-string be classified — as a brief or under another heading?

Thongs and g-strings are generally classified as briefs or panties under this heading, as they serve the same functional purpose. The minimal coverage does not change the classification; the garment type and intended use as underwear are the controlling factors.

What fiber content documentation do customs brokers typically require for knitted women's underwear shipments?

A manufacturer's fiber content certificate or mill certificate specifying the percentage of each fiber by weight is standard. This supports both correct HTS subheading selection and compliance with FTC textile labeling requirements. Discrepancies between declared and tested fiber content can trigger penalties and redelivery demands.
