What decides the code
A tank top is a knitted garment classified in heading 6109, with the line set by fiber content and gender.
- Fiber content decides the subheading: cotton tank tops fall under 6109.10.00 and man-made fiber tank tops fall under 6109.90.10.
- Gender decides the break within the subheading: men's cotton tank tops take 6109.10.00.18 and women's cotton tank tops take 6109.10.00.60.
- For man-made fibers, men's tank tops take 6109.90.10.13 and women's tank tops take 6109.90.10.65.
- Knitted construction places the garment in heading 6109, which covers tank tops and similar garments.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a knitted tank top in 6109 as a T-shirt ignores the tank top breakout lines, which separate tank tops from other singlets.
- Putting a polyester tank top in 6109.10.00 treats it as cotton, but 6109.10.00 covers only cotton garments.
- Using a men's line such as 6109.10.00.18 for a women's tank top is wrong because the gender break changes the statistical line.
