A form-fitting one-piece swimsuit made from woven polyester fabric, designed for women's recreational swimming.

This classification applies to made-up textile articles excluding knitted or crocheted fabrics.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

6112.41.00Higher: 44.9% vs 27.5%

If knitted or crocheted

Chapter 62 excludes knitted swimwear; those go to Chapter 61, track suits, ski-suits, swimwear, etc.

6211.12Same rate: 27.5%

If made of man-made filament fabrics

Specific statistical breakout within 6211.12 for filament swimwear takes precedence over 'other'.

6204.62Higher: 29.1% vs 27.5%

If marketed as women's shorts rather than swimwear

End-use determines classification; non-swim lower body garments without swim features fall under women's trousers/shorts.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm it's not man-made filament (which may shift to 6211.12.20), as woven polyester often qualifies here

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'swimwear' and body height if near baby sizes to avoid misclassification into 6209
