You will declare against a longer local code that begins 610190: ten digits in the United States and the United Kingdom, eight in the European Union, and the first six the same everywhere. Which trailing digits apply is what the 6 rates below differ on.

What this code covers

HS code 610190 covers men's overcoats and jackets, other textile materials under Chapter 61 (articles of apparel, knitted). Across the 5 destinations here that charge a percentage the duty runs from 5% to 18%, and Canada is the dearest. United States does not charge this as a percentage at all: the official duty is specific or compound, printed in full in the table below rather than converted into a rate it does not have. Destination tax is charged on top, on the customs value plus any duty, and runs from 0% to 23% across these markets, highest in Portugal, with none at the border in United States. All 6 rates below have been read from the tariff schedule of the market that charges them.

Read it at the official tariff.

United States charges this code by the hectolitre, the item or the kilogram rather than on its value, sometimes alongside a percentage, which is why the duty column reads Not a % there; a charge of that kind cannot be shown as a single percentage, so none is shown, the calculator does not estimate it, and the official wording is under each of those rows.

Rates shown are MFN (Most Favoured Nation), the default for WTO members. Preferential FTA rates may be lower with valid proof of origin. Section 301 / anti-dumping surcharges on Chinese-origin goods are not included.

What that costs: 610190 into Canada

An illustrative consignment of 610190 invoiced at CAD 2,000.00, priced in CAD because a threshold is set in the destination's currency and nothing here is converted.

Goods value on the invoice CAD 2,000.00
International freight CAD 120.00
Cargo insurance CAD 30.00
Value the duty is charged on, FOB basis CAD 2,000.00
Duty at 18% CAD 360.00
Canada tax at 5%, charged on the value plus the duty CAD 118.00
Total, before commercial charges CAD 2,628.00

And if the consignment were small

Canada relieves customs duties and taxes on consignments at or under CAD 20. The 610190 shipment above is over that, so its duty is charged in full. The same code invoiced at exactly CAD 20 with no freight would be charged CAD 0.00 of duty and CAD 0.00 of tax, a total of CAD 20.00. The rate on the 610190 row has not changed; only the charge is relieved.

Selling rather than buying? CAD 2,628.00 is what your buyer in Canada pays to take delivery of this consignment, yours to pay if you quote DDP and theirs if you quote DAP: Exporting to Canada sets out who collects it and what your invoice has to say.

An illustration, not a quotation: broker fees, handling and any trade remedy on the origin sit outside it. Price 610190 on your own numbers in the duty calculator.

Re-check first: The United States splits this subheading by fibre: wool carries a charge per kilogram on top of a percentage, silk of 70 percent or more is charged at under one percent, and everything else sits between. The fibre mix has to be confirmed before any figure applies.

What falls under 610190

  • Men's or boys' overcoats, anoraks, windcheaters and similar knitted articles of textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton or man-made fibres
  • Knitted outerwear of silk, linen, ramie and other minor textile fibres

What's specifically excluded

These look similar but belong under a different code:

  • 610120: The same knitted outerwear of cotton
  • 611020: Sweaters and sweatshirts of man-made fibres
  • 650500: Hats and caps, which are headgear rather than garments

Commonly confused with

610120: Knitted cotton outerwear
This is a residual fibre line, reached only after wool, fine animal hair, cotton and man-made fibres have all been eliminated. A garment declared here that is mostly cotton or polyester is in the wrong subheading, and residual lines attract scrutiny for exactly that reason.

611030: Man-made fibre sweaters
Linen and silk knitwear is frequently blended with viscose or polyester, and once a man-made fibre predominates by weight the garment leaves this residual line entirely. Blends drift between seasons without the style changing.

Classification & cost note

Residual subheadings are reached by elimination, and that is the whole discipline here: this line is correct only when wool, fine animal hair, cotton and man-made fibres have each been ruled out as the predominant fibre by weight. Customs authorities know residual lines are where uncertain declarations go, so a figure declared here is more likely to be tested than one in a named subheading, and the evidence that settles it is a laboratory composition rather than a label. The commercial reality is that genuine linen and silk knitted outerwear is a small trade, so a large consignment arriving under this code is itself unusual. Where a blend is close to an even split between a named fibre and an unnamed one, the ordering rules in the section notes resolve it, and they do not default to the residual line.

Typical products: Knitted linen outerwear jackets · Silk knit capes and ponchos · Ramie blend knitted overcoats · Hemp knit outerwear · Knitted outerwear in minor bast fibres · Silk blend knitted windcheaters

What the notes to section XI say

Chapter 61 sits in section XI, textiles and textile articles, where a section note governs every chapter in the section and applies before the heading notes below; the 10 reaching chapter 61 are quoted whole on the chapter 61 page, read from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/sections/11 on 2026-09-08, and this is the one that names heading 6101 by number.

Note 14 to section XI

For the purposes of this note, the expression 'textile garments' means garments of heading 6101 to 6114 and heading 6201 to 6211.

What the nomenclature says about heading 6101

610190 is a subheading of 6101, men's or boys' overcoats, car coats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski jackets), windcheaters, wind-jackets and similar articles, knitted or crocheted, other than those of heading 6103 , and this site holds one other code under the same heading, which every rule below governs equally.

No numbered note to chapter 61 takes heading 6101 as its subject, which is what the published notes say rather than a gap on this page: the heading is defined by its own wording above and by the note to the chapter, quoted in full on the chapter 61 page.

Read from the notes to chapter 61 published in the UK Trade Tariff by HM Revenue and Customs, at https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/chapters/61, with the heading title from https://www.trade-tariff.service.gov.uk/api/v2/headings/6101, on 2026-09-07, with the whole layer and the reason a heading note is a chapter note set out on the chapter 61 page. These notes are part of the international text of the Harmonized System, so the rule is the same whichever destination a shipment is going to, and it decides classification and never a rate.

Questions about 610190

Which fibres actually fall in this subheading?

The ones heading 6101 does not name: silk, linen, ramie, hemp and other minor textile fibres. It is reached only after wool, fine animal hair, cotton and man-made fibres have each been eliminated as the predominant fibre.

Why do residual codes attract more scrutiny?

Because they are where uncertain declarations tend to land. A composition declared in a residual line is more likely to be laboratory tested than one in a named subheading, and a label is not evidence of predominance by weight.

What happens with a close blend?

The ordering rules in the section notes resolve it, and they do not default to the residual line. A garment split evenly between linen and viscose is decided by those rules rather than by choosing this code.

What counts as fine animal hair?

Cashmere, alpaca, mohair, camel and similar speciality fibres, which the tariff groups with wool rather than leaving in the residual line. So a cashmere blend knitted coat is not classified here at all, and importers reaching for the residual code on luxury knitwear are usually wrong.
