Duty on Clothing from Abroad: Representative Rates by Origin (2026)
Clothing duty depends on fabric, construction and manufacturing origin. This table covers one cotton-pullover classification.
A category is a starting point
This calculator selects HTS 6110.20.20, a representative knitted cotton pullover, at 16.5% MFN. A cotton t-shirt, woven shirt, wool sweater or synthetic garment can require another code and rate. Confirm the actual product before relying on the estimate.
Manufacturing-origin example rates
| Manufacturing origin | Representative MFN | Added duties | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | 16.5% | 10% | 26.5% |
| Germany | 16.5% | 0% | 16.5% |
| Japan | 16.5% | 0% | 16.5% |
| China | 16.5% | 20% | 36.5% |
| Canada | 16.5% | 10% | 26.5% |
| Mexico | 16.5% | 10% | 26.5% |
| India | 16.5% | 10% | 26.5% |
| Australia | 16.5% | 12.5% | 29% |
| South Korea | 16.5% | 0% | 16.5% |
These rows are for the selected cotton pullover, HTS 6110.20.20, without an FTA claim or another product exclusion. They are not rates for all clothing. EU, Japan and Korea receive no added forced-labor duty here because this MFN already exceeds their respective thresholds.
Documented freight is separate
Goods $100 plus documented actual international freight $20 produce a customs value of $100 before any required valuation additions. For this UK-made representative, 26.5% duty equals $26.50. Freight remains part of the landed cost; an unconfirmed seller estimate is not evidence for exclusion.
Fees do not follow one universal formula
Postal MPF exemptions, CBP-prepared mail charges, EMS exceptions, express-facility operator fees and private carrier charges depend on entry procedure and date. Formal entry may be required below $2,500; restricted goods, quotas and AD/CVD are outside this model.
Use a real receiving address. TaxFreeAddress provides synthetic addresses for testing, not shopping delivery or forwarding.
