HTS heading 6209 is a broad product category for babies’ garments and clothing accessories made from textile materials. It generally groups baby clothing such as garments and related accessories that fall within the heading’s scope, rather than assigning one single code to every product.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, narrow the product first by the applicable material or fiber category and then by the garment or accessory type. The detailed tariff schedule may also distinguish products by construction or other characteristics, so classification depends on the item’s actual features and the wording of the relevant subheadings and statistical provisions.
What to check
- Confirm that the item is designed or sized for babies and that it fits heading 6209 rather than another apparel heading.
- Identify the garment or accessory type precisely, such as a garment, hat, bib, or other covered article; do not rely only on a store description.
- Document the fiber content and how the fabric is made, including whether it is knitted or crocheted versus woven, because these facts can determine the applicable branch.
- Read the complete 8-digit HTSUS description and its legal notes, and compare it with the product’s construction, intended use, and measurements.
- Keep product specifications, photographs, labels, and fiber records to support the classification; consult a customs broker or request a binding ruling when the result is uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
Sub-categories
