👖 Men's Artificial Fiber Swim Trunks (Misidentified as "Artificial Leather")
🌐 HS Code Reference & Customs Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Analysis | Professional Compliance Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition & Classification: What Are We Actually Declaring?
Despite the user input stating "Men's Artificial Leather Pants," the provided data strictly pertains to Men's Swim Trunks made from Artificial Fiber. This is a critical distinction. "Artificial Fiber" (often synthetic like polyester or nylon) is fundamentally different from "Artificial Leather" (PU/PVC coated fabrics). In the context of the provided <DATA>, these are swimwear items, not casual trousers or leather-look pants.
Key Characteristics from Data: * Gender: Men's / Men's * Material: Artificial Fiber (Synthetic) * Function/Form: Swim Trunks / Swimwear (Finished Goods) * Status: Final Product (Not fabric or parts)
⚠️ Critical Distinction:
- If you are actually importing "Artificial Leather Trousers" (for fashion/casual wear), this data does not apply. You would likely fall under Chapter 62 or 61 depending on knit vs. woven, but with no "Swim" designation.
- The data below is strictly for Men's Artificial Fiber Swim Trunks. Do not misdeclare swimwear as general trousers to avoid customs penalties.
📦 II. HS Code Classification Details (2026 Latest Tariff Authority对照)
The data provides five specific HS Codes for Men's Artificial Fiber Swim Trunks. The differences lie in the sub-headings (e.g., 6112 for Knit/Crepe vs. 6211 for Other Made-up Articles).
| HS Code | Product Description | Key Attributes | Total Tax Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
5504.90.00.00 |
Men's Artificial Fiber Swim Trunks | Material-based classification; "Not elsewhere specified" fallback | 39.3% |
6112.31.00.10 |
Men's Swimwear, Artificial Fiber | Knit/Crepe structure; Synthetic fiber content | 43.4% |
6112.19.10.50 |
Men's Artificial Fiber Swimwear | Knit/Crepe; General swimwear category | 45.7% |
6211.11.10.10 |
Men's Artificial Fiber Swimwear | Woven (Other than knit); Specific sub-category | 45.3% |
6211.11.10.20 |
Men's Artificial Fiber Swimwear | Woven; Specific sub-category (likely different finish/branding) | 45.3% |
🔍 Important Note:
- 6112 typically covers Knitted or Crocheted swimwear.
- 6211 typically covers Other Made-up Articles (often Woven, though not exclusively, but distinct from 6112 in tariff schedules).
- 5504 is an outlier here, likely a broad categorization for fibers/textiles that didn't fit neatly or a specific "catch-all" in this dataset's logic.
- Do not mix knit and woven classifications. Check your garment's construction (knit stretch vs. woven durability).
💰 III. 2026 Latest Tariff Rate Breakdown (Including Surcharges)
✅ Applicable Country: United States (US)
✅ Origin: China (CN)
✅ Effective Time: Post-2025 Trade Policies (Section 301 & IEEPA)
🎯 1. 6112.31.00.10 – Men's Knit Swimwear, Artificial Fiber
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base Tariff | 25.9% |
| Section 301 Surcharge | +7.5% |
| Section 122 Tariff | +10.0% |
| Total Tax Rate | 43.4% |
| Tax Calculation | CIF Value × 43.4% |
| De Minimis Eligibility | ❌ NO (High tariff threshold prevents de minimis exemption) |
| Legal Basis Path | USITC:6112.31.00.10 → Section 301 → Section 122 |
📌 Explanation:
- Base (25.9%): Standard MFN rate for knit synthetic swimwear.

- Section 122 (10%): Additional tariff specifically targeting certain Chinese textile/apparel goods under recent executive orders.
🎯 2. 6112.19.10.50 – Men's Knit Swimwear, Other
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base Tariff | 28.2% |
| Section 301 Surcharge | +7.5% |
| Section 122 Tariff | +10.0% |
| Total Tax Rate | 45.7% |
| Tax Calculation | CIF Value × 45.7% |
| De Minimis Eligibility | ❌ NO |
| Legal Basis Path | USITC:6112.19.10.50 → Section 301 → Section 122 |
📌 Note:
- Slightly higher base rate (28.2% vs 25.9%) due to being in the "Other" sub-category of knit swimwear.
- Still subject to the same 17.5% in surcharges.
🎯 3. 6211.11.10.10 & 6211.11.10.20 – Men's Woven/Other Swimwear
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base Tariff | 27.8% |
| Section 301 Surcharge | +7.5% |
| Section 122 Tariff | +10.0% |
| Total Tax Rate | 45.3% |
| Tax Calculation | CIF Value × 45.3% |
| De Minimis Eligibility | ❌ NO |
| Legal Basis Path | USITC:6211.11.10.10 → Section 301 → Section 122 |
📌 Note:
- Woven swimwear (6211) generally has a higher base rate than specific knit categories (6112.31).
- The two sub-codes (.10vs.20) likely differ by minor attributes (e.g., lining, brand, or specific fiber blend percentage) but carry the identical tax burden.
🎯 4. 5504.90.00.00 – Other Artificial Fiber Textiles/Apparel
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base Tariff | 4.3% |
| Section 301 Surcharge | +25.0% |
| Section 122 Tariff | +10.0% |
| Total Tax Rate | 39.3% |
| Tax Calculation | CIF Value × 39.3% |
| De Minimis Eligibility | ❌ NO |
| Legal Basis Path | USITC:5504.90.00.00 → Section 301 (High Rate) → Section 122 |
📌 Note:
- This code has a low base rate (4.3%) but a massive Section 301 surcharge (25.0%).
- This is likely a "catch-all" for artificial fiber goods not specified elsewhere.
- Strategy: This is the cheapest option (39.3%), but ensure it accurately describes your product. Misclassification here can lead to severe penalties if goods are actually standard swimwear (6112/6211).
🛠️ IV. Customs Clearance Practical Advice (Risk Mitigation)
✅ 1. Documentation Checklist (Essential for Clearance)
| Document | Required? | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ Product Specification Sheet | ✔️ | Must clearly state: "Men's Swim Trunk," "Artificial Fiber (e.g., Polyester 90%, Spandex 10%)," "Knit/Woven." |
| ✅ Commercial Invoice | ✔️ | Must describe goods as "Swimwear" not "Pants" or "Leather Trousers." |
| ✅ Material Composition Label | ✔️ | Photo of the care label showing fiber content. Critical for 6112 vs 6211 determination. |
| ✅ Product Images | ✔️ | Front, back, and detail shots showing swim design (elastic waist, mesh lining). |
| ✅ Certificate of Origin | ✔️ | To confirm Chinese origin and apply correct surcharges. |
✅ 2. Classification Strategy & Pitfalls
🔥 "Don't Call it Leather, Don't Call it Pants, Call it Swimwear!"
| Scenario | Correct HS Code | Wrong HS Code | Consequence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knit Swim Trunks (Stretchy, typical boardshorts) | 6112.31.00.10 (43.4%) |
6211.11.10.20 (45.3%) |
Overpayment of ~1.9% |
| Woven Swim Trunks (Durable, quick-dry fabric) | 6211.11.10.10 (45.3%) |
6112.31.00.10 (43.4%) |
Underpayment risk → Penalty |
| Artificial Leather Trousers (Fashion pants) | NOT IN DATA | Any Swimwear Code | Severe Misclassification → Goods seized, fines, audit |
| Swimwear Labeled as "Pants" | Any Swimwear Code | General Apparel Codes | Customs may reclassify and apply higher duties or reject entry |
⚠️ Critical Warning:
- The user input "Artificial Leather Pants" is incorrect for the data provided.
- If you import actual "Artificial Leather Pants" (fashion), you cannot use these swimwear HS codes. You must use codes from Chapter 61/62 for trousers/pants, which have different tax structures.
- Do not force-fit non-swimwear into swimwear codes to save taxes. CBP (Customs and Border Protection) routinely inspects apparel and checks labels.
✅ 3. Special Considerations
| Issue | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Material Ambiguity | If the fabric looks like leather but is synthetic fiber, clearly declare "Artificial Fiber Swimwear" and provide material test reports. Do not use "Leather" in description. |
| Section 122 Impact | The 10% Section 122 tariff is non-negotiable for Chinese-origin goods in these categories. Factor this into pricing. |
| De Minimis Exemption | ❌ Not Eligible. All these codes exceed the de minimis threshold (or are specifically excluded). Even small shipments (under $800) may face duty if classified under these codes. |
| Pre-Ruling | ✅ Highly Recommended. File an API (Advance Ruling) with CBP to confirm if your specific "Artificial Fiber Swim Trunk" fits 6112.31 or 6211.11. This locks in the 39.3%-45.7% rate and prevents surprise audits. |
🌍 V. Global Market Comparison (2026 Update)
| Country | Recommended HS Code | Approx. Total Rate (China Origin) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸 USA | 6112.31.00.10 / 6211.11.10.10 |
39.3% - 45.7% | High Section 301 + 122 duties. |
| 🇨🇳 China | 6112.31.00.10 |
8% - 12% | Standard import duty + VAT. No Section 301. |
| 🇪🇺 EU | 6112.31.00.00 |
12% | No Section 301/122. Counter-vailing duties may apply if subsidy proven. |
| 🇬🇧 UK | 6112.31.00.00 |
12% | Post-Brexit tariff. No US-style surcharges. |
| 🇨🇦 Canada | 6112.31.00.00 |
15.5% | Most Favored Nation rate. |
📌 Conclusion:
- USA is the most expensive market for this product due to punitive tariffs.
- Profit Margins must account for ~40-45% in duties.
- Consider warehousing in Mexico or Vietnam (if qualifying under USMCA/EU preferences) to avoid Section 301/122, but ensure substantial transformation occurs.
📌 VI. Common Errors & Avoidance Guide
❌ Error 1: Declaring "Artificial Leather Pants" when goods are "Swim Trunks"
👉 Result: Customs may reject the entry for misdescription, or reclassify to the correct code and apply different (possibly higher) duties.
❌ Error 2: Assuming "Artificial Fiber" means "Low Tax"
👉 Result: Section 301 (7.5% or 25%) and Section 122 (10%) make these rates very high. Budget accordingly.
❌ Error 3: Ignoring the Knit vs. Woven distinction
👉 Result: 6112 (Knit) vs. 6211 (Other) have different base rates. Misclassification leads to underpayment penalties.
❌ Error 4: Trying to use De Minimis ($800) for these goods
👉 Result: These codes are not eligible for de minimis exemption in many cases due to their tariff classification. Expect duties on every shipment.
✅ Correct Approach:
"Men's Synthetic Fiber Swim Trunks, Knit, 90% Polyester/10% Spandex, Elastic Waist, Mesh Lined, Model XYZ"
🎯 VII. Conclusion: Strategic Sourcing Advice
🎯 Key Takeaway:
🔹 "Swimwear is NOT Leather Pants. The tax is HIGH (39-46%). Plan for it!"
🔹 "Section 301 + 122 = 17.5% Extra. No exemptions."
🔹 "Verify Knit vs. Woven to save 2%."
📌 Action Item:
1. Confirm Product Type: Is it truly swimwear? If it's fashion pants, ignore this data.
2. Check Material: Is it Artificial Fiber (Synthetic) or Artificial Leather (PU)?
3. Consult a Broker: For shipments >$800, get a CBP Advance Ruling.
4. Pricing Model: Build 45% duty into your landed cost for US imports.

关于 HS 编码归类
协调制度（HS）是由世界海关组织（WCO）制定的国际贸易商品分类标准。全球 200 多个国家采用 HS 系统作为海关关税、贸易统计和进出口监管的基础。
每个 HS 编码遵循以下层级结构：
- 章（2 位）——商品大类（例如：第 84 章：机器和机械设备）
- 品目（4 位）——章内的更具体分类
- 子目（6 位）——国际通用细分，所有 WCO 成员国统一使用
- 本国细分（8-10 位）——各国自行扩展的细分编码，如美国 HTSUS 10 位编码
正确的 HS 编码归类对于顺利通关、准确缴纳关税和遵守贸易法规至关重要。错误归类可能导致海关延误、多缴关税或罚款。
从CN进口到US时，适用的关税税率可能包括：
- 最惠国（MFN）税率——适用于 WTO 成员国的标准关税税率
- 普通税率——适用于无贸易协定国家
- 贸易救济关税——附加关税，如 301 条款（反倾销）、232 条款（国家安全）或反补贴税
