Hoodies and sweatshirts are classified under HS 6110.20 when cotton is the main fibre and 6110.30 when it is polyester or another man-made fibre. Sweaters share these codes, and wool sweaters take 6110.11. The US base duty is 16.5% for cotton and 32% for man-made fibres.
Made in China, a cotton hoodie pays 36.5% in all: the 16.5% base rate, 7.5% Section 301 duty and the 12.5% forced labor tariff, or US$365 on every US$1,000 of value. A polyester hoodie pays 52%.
US rates: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule, Revision 20 (2026), checked 2026-10-01. Base (MFN) duty only.

How to read the code
Worth knowing
- Heading 6110 covers knitted sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts and cardigans, with or without a hood.
- “Jersey” in the HS is a garment, not a fabric: heading 6110 is titled “jerseys, pullovers, cardigans, waistcoats and similar articles, knitted or crocheted”, so a knitted pullover sold as a jersey takes the same codes as a sweatshirt.
- A hoodie and matching sweatpants sold as a set are usually entered as two garments: 6110.20 for the top plus 6103.42 (men’s) or 6104.62 (women’s) for the pants. The track-suit code 6112.11 applies only when the set meets the track-suit definition.
- A plastic coating that hides the base fabric, as on faux-leather hoodies, takes the garment out of 6110 altogether.
Same for every garment
