Last updated: August 2026 dataWoven swim trunks and board shorts for men and boys — constructed from non-knitted fabrics such as woven nylon or polyester — occupy a distinct tariff position from their knitted counterparts, reflecting the different fabric construction and performance characteristics of each. The woven construction typically produces a stiffer, more structured garment compared to knit swimwear, and is common in board-short and hybrid swim-to-street styles. Fiber content (predominantly synthetic) and the woven construction together determine the applicable HTS subheading, and importers should confirm that quick-dry coatings or DWR treatments do not redirect classification toward the coated-fabric garment headings.

A light DWR finish applied to woven swimwear generally does not trigger reclassification into the coated or impregnated fabric garment headings, because the finish does not fundamentally alter the character of the fabric. However, if the treatment results in a visible or palpable coating that changes the fabric's essential character, CBP may consider reclassification. Importers using heavily treated fabrics should obtain a technical data sheet from the mill and consult a customs broker.
The primary distinguishing factors are the garment's design features associated with swimming — such as a mesh lining, quick-dry synthetic fabric, and an elastic or drawstring waistband without a fly — along with its marketing and labeling as swimwear. Woven shorts without these features would typically be classified as shorts or trousers rather than swimwear. CBP applies a principal-use test, so commercial invoices and product descriptions should clearly identify the article as swimwear.
