HTS Chapter 55
28 HTS codes in this chapter
Chapters 50 through 63 cover the complete universe of textiles: from silk, wool, and cotton in fiber form to finished garments and other made-up textile articles. This is one of the sectors with the most complex rules of origin under USMCA, which generally requires the 'yarn forward' rule to obtain preferential treatment. Tariff classification depends on fiber type, weave (knit vs. woven), weight per square meter, blend composition, and whether it's men's, women's, or children's apparel. Mexico is both a significant importer of Asian textiles and an exporter of garments to the US.
