HTS heading 6110 is a four-digit product category for knitted or crocheted upper-body garments such as sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests), and similar articles. It groups these products by their general garment type and construction, rather than by brand, style name, or retail description.
To reach the correct eight-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the item is knitted or crocheted and belongs in heading 6110. Then follow the subheading structure, which commonly separates products by features such as fiber or material composition, garment type, and other classification details. The exact code can depend on the garment’s construction, predominant fiber, and applicable statistical distinctions, so the product should be matched to the current HTSUS wording and notes.
What to check
- Confirm that the item is knitted or crocheted, not woven, before using heading 6110.
- Identify the garment type accurately: for example, distinguish a sweater, sweatshirt, pullover, or vest based on its construction and coverage.
- Review the fiber composition and determine which material description applies under the relevant subheadings; use the product’s verified textile content.
- Check the full eight-digit HTSUS description and any section, chapter, or heading notes rather than relying only on a catalog name.
- Keep product specifications, fabric details, construction information, and samples or photographs available in case a customs broker or classification specialist must review the choice.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
