U.S. imports of Knitted or Crocheted Garments, Not Elsewhere Specified (SITC 84599) totaled $109.6M in August 2026, imported from 116 countries.
Importers of Knitted or Crocheted Garments, Not Elsewhere Specified paid $30.6M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 27.79% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataKnitted and crocheted garments that cannot be assigned to any more specific heading — from certain prayer shawls to novelty knit coveralls — accumulate in this residual category, making it one of the more classification-intensive entries in the apparel schedule. Because more specific headings for knitted garments are numerous (sweaters, suits, dresses, track suits, swimwear, etc.), CBP scrutiny of N.E.S. claims is high, and importers should document why no enumerated heading applies. Fiber content, gender designation, and construction method all remain relevant even within this catch-all, as they determine the applicable tariff line.

Importers should systematically work through the knitted apparel headings in order — overcoats, suits, ensembles, jackets, trousers, dresses, skirts, shirts, track suits, swimwear, and so on — confirming that none applies before using the N.E.S. heading. Retaining a written classification analysis and, for high-volume or novel items, obtaining a CBP binding ruling will protect against reclassification at audit.
Yes. Even within the residual N.E.S. heading, tariff lines are typically split by gender (men's/boys' vs. women's/girls') and sometimes by fiber content. Correct gender designation affects both the applicable duty rate and quota category, so commercial invoices should clearly state the intended wearer.
