6215 — Ties, bow ties and cravats (not knitted or crocheted)
Chapter 62: Articles of apparel, not knitted
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6215 when importing ties, bow ties, or cravats that are not knitted or crocheted. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of silk neckties, this heading will apply. It’s crucial to determine the material composition to classify your goods correctly.
When deciding between the subheadings, consider the material of your ties. For instance, 621510 applies specifically to ties made from silk or silk waste, while 621520 is for those made from man-made fibres. If your product doesn't fit these categories, 621590 covers ties made from other textile materials.
If you have ties made from a blend of materials, the classification can become tricky. For example, if a tie is primarily made from man-made fibres but includes a small percentage of silk, you may need to consult with a customs broker for proper classification under 621520 or 621590.
