What decides the code
A sports bra is classified as a brassiere under heading 6212, and the pullover style of man-made fibers falls in 6212.10.90.20.
- The garment is a brassiere by function and construction, so it falls under heading 6212 rather than a general apparel heading.
- The fiber content is man-made, which places the article in the man-made fibers subheading of 6212.10.
- The pullover style has no front closure, which is treated as Other within the brassiere subheading, giving 6212.10.90.20.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a sports bra under 6109 as a tank top or singlet is wrong because the garment is shaped and sold as a brassiere.
- Using 6114 for other knitted garments is wrong because heading 6212 specifically covers brassieres.
- Putting a man-made fiber sports bra in a cotton or other textile fiber line under 6212.10 is wrong because the fiber content controls the subheading.
