HTS heading 6217 is a broad category for certain finished clothing accessories and parts of garments or clothing accessories that are not covered by heading 6212. Examples may include particular apparel accessories or garment parts, depending on their design, material, and intended use. Heading 6212 covers specified foundation garments and related items, so those products must be considered separately.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTS code, first confirm that the product belongs in heading 6217 rather than another heading. Then follow the heading’s subheadings and statistical provisions, which commonly distinguish products by their type, textile material, construction, or other stated characteristics. Classification depends on the product as imported—not simply its marketing name—so review its physical features, packaging, and intended use. When the wording is unclear or competing headings may apply, obtain a customs broker’s or customs classification specialist’s judgment.
What to check
- Describe the item’s actual function and construction, including whether it is a complete accessory or a part of a garment or accessory.
- Identify the fiber or material content using supplier specifications and, when relevant, the applicable textile testing or labeling information.
- Check whether the item is excluded from heading 6217 or specifically described in another HTS heading, especially heading 6212.
- Read every indentation, note, and “other” provision in the heading’s 8-digit subheadings; do not choose a code based only on a product name.
- Keep product photos, technical descriptions, bills of materials, and prior classification support so the selected code can be verified.

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.
