As you may already know, recent U.S. tariff adjustments have introduced additional duties on many imports from China and Hong Kong, including swimwear. Specifically, swimwear products (HTS codes 6112.41/6112.31/6111.30 and 6211.11) are now subject to a 7.5% additional duty. This increase is part of the broader complexities in the global trade landscape and adds extra pressure to an already competitive swimwear market.
Impact on Swimwear Imports
For your reference, the current U.S. import duties for swimwear (HTS codes 6112.31/6112.41/6111.30 and 6211.11) are as follows:
- Women’s & Girls’ Swimwear from China: 32.4% total duty
- Boys’ & Men’s Swimwear from China: 33.4% total duty
- Babiesʼ Swimwear from China: 23.5% total duty
- Men’s & Boys’ Woven Swimwear from China: 35.3% total duty
These higher tariffs significantly increase the cost of doing business and create new challenges for swimwear brands like yours.
