Adult clothing must have a GCC certificate (based on the 16 CFR Part 1610 flammability standard), and children's clothing must have a CPC certificate.

The tariffs on clothing and textiles are affected by the superposition of Article 301, with a comprehensive tax rate of approximately 10% -37.5%.

The United States is the world's largest clothing consumer market, with an annual import value exceeding 100 billion US dollars. From Baiyun in Guangzhou and Humen in Dongguan to Longhua in Shenzhen, the clothing and textile industry cluster in the Pearl River Delta is constantly transporting ready to wear, fabrics, and home textile products to North America.

However, the export of branded clothing and textiles to the United States is completely different from shipping ordinary goods - it not only faces a heavy tax burden of multiple layers of tariffs, but also has to deal with complex checkpoints such as CPSC eFiling electronic filing, ISF security declaration, FTC label compliance, etc. Starting from July 8, 2026, the new CPSC eFiling regulations will be fully enforced, and all clothing and textiles regulated by CPSC must complete electronic compliance certificate filing before arrival at the port, with no exemptions. On July 24, 2026, the United States imposed tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on 60 trading partners under Section 301.

Andaxun International Logistics has been deeply involved in the export of clothing and textiles from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Dongguan for many years. We are familiar with the dual regulatory requirements of CBP and CPSC in the United States, and provide one-stop services such as full container load/less than container load (FCL), double clearance and tax inclusive, and door-to-door service to help you go global in compliance and seize the North American clothing market!

1、 Shenzhen to US branded clothing and textile sea freight prices and delivery time: US West Express, flexible shipping

From Yantian in Shenzhen/Nansha in Guangzhou/Dongguan Port to ports in the western United States such as Los Angeles and Long Beach, the direct voyage takes about 15-25 days; The journey to ports in the East Coast of the United States, such as New York and Savannah, via the Panama Canal takes about 25-40 days. Full container fast shipping takes about 20-25 days, while regular shipping takes about 25-35 days; LCL takes about 18-25 days to reach the basic port in the western United States. It is recommended to book shipping 3-4 weeks in advance during the peak season (June September). Both FCL and LCL can be flexibly matched according to the cargo volume.

The price is negotiable, and we insist on a one size fits all package: ocean freight+domestic trailer customs clearance+US import customs clearance+tariffs+MPF+HMF+final delivery.

1. Key tariff points for clothing and textiles:

The United States adopts a multi-layered tariff system for clothing and textiles:

-Basic Tariff (MFN): HS codes for clothing and textiles are included in Chapters 50-63, and most favored nation tariff rates vary depending on the material and category. The basic tariff for cotton clothing (HS 61/62 chapter) is usually between 8% -16%, for synthetic clothing it is about 14% -28%, and for some categories the most favored nation tariff rate can be as high as 32%.

-301 Additional Tariffs: Starting from July 24, 2026, the United States will impose 10% or 12.5% tariffs on 60 trading partners under Section 301. Chinese clothing and textiles have long faced the imposition of 301 tariffs.

-Comprehensive tax rate: After adding basic tariffs and 301 additional taxes, the comprehensive tax rate for Chinese clothing and textiles ranges from about 18% to 45%.

We handle the full payment of tariffs and MPF (0.3464%), HMF (0.125%) on our behalf, eliminating the need for customers to handle complex US tariff calculations on their own.

2、 Customs clearance documents and procedures for shipping clothing and textiles from Shenzhen to the United States: the "Five Passes" for importing clothing and textiles from the United States

Brand clothing and textile exports to the United States must cross the following five core checkpoints.

Level 1: ISF 10+2 Declaration - Mandatory Compliance Before Shipment (Late Penalty Starting from $5000)

All goods imported into the United States via sea freight containers must complete an ISF 10+2 import safety declaration within 24 hours prior to loading at the port of origin. The importer or authorized customs broker submits 10 data items (cargo description, HTS code, cargo value, origin, manufacturer, seller, buyer, consignee, etc.) through CBP's ACE system, and the shipping company synchronously submits 2 manifest data items. A fine of $5000 per ticket will be imposed for exceeding or failing to report, and the goods will be unable to clear customs or be delayed upon arrival at the port.

Level 2: CPSC eFiling Electronic Filing - Mandatory Enforcement from July 8, 2026 (Top Priority)

Starting from July 8, 2026, the CPSC eFiling electronic filing rules will be fully enforced. All clothing and textiles regulated by CPSC (regardless of value, B2B or B2C, without exemption) must submit electronic compliance certificate data through the US Customs ACE system before the goods arrive at the port. EFiling applies to all imported consumer goods regulated by CPSC, including clothing, textiles, and children's products. Without completing the electronic data declaration in advance, the goods will not be able to enter the customs clearance process.

1. EFiling core data requirements:

-Finished product identification information (product model/SKU, etc.)

-Consumer product safety regulations applicable to the product

-Certification party (importer/domestic manufacturer) information

-Contact information for maintenance personnel of test records

-Product production date and location

-Date and location of product compliance testing

-Third party laboratory information (required for CPC)

2. Adult clothing: GCC (General Certificate of Conformity) must be provided, mainly based on the 16 CFR Part 1610 clothing flammability standard. GCC can be issued by importers or domestic manufacturers based on reasonable testing procedures.

3. Children's clothing (12 years old and below): CPC (Children's Product Certificate) must be provided, and the testing report must be issued by a third-party laboratory officially recognized by CPSC.

4. Special reminder: eFiling does not have small batch exemptions, low value exemptions, or sample exemptions. Even dozens of trial orders, as long as they are consumer goods regulated by CPSC, must be declared mandatory.

Third level: FTC label compliance - "ID card" for clothing and textiles（ ⚠️  Easy to be overlooked)

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States has strict legal regulations on clothing and textile labeling. According to the Textile Fiber Product Identification Act (TFPIA) and the Wool Product Labeling Act, most textile and wool products must indicate the following three items on the label:

-Fiber composition: The common name and weight percentage of each fiber must be listed, arranged in descending order of content

-Country of origin: must be clearly labeled as "Made in China". Clothing with collars must have the origin label sewn on the inner center of the collar, between the shoulder seams, or near another label

-Manufacturer identity: The manufacturer's name or RN (registration identification number) must be indicated

Care label: According to 16 CFR Part 423, clothing must be labeled with care instructions (washing, bleaching, drying, ironing, warning).

Level 4: Brand Authorization Letter - Strict Intellectual Property Protection in the United States

The United States has extremely strict intellectual property protection. Brand clothing requires a brand authorization letter, and unauthorized goods may face the risk of seizure. Exporters should ensure that the brand authorization chain is complete, and the authorization documents must clearly display the authorization relationship between the brand owner and the importer.

Fifth level: Customs clearance process at the destination port in the United States (our Los Angeles cooperating customs clearance agent will handle the entire process):

1. Pre export compliance filing: Assist in completing CPSC certificate preparation and eFiling electronic filing, FTC label compliance guidance

2. ISF 10+2 declaration (24 hours before departure): Ensure timely submission to avoid high fines

3. eFiling electronic filing (before arrival): Submit compliance certificate data through the ACE system

4. Electronic customs declaration: Formal customs declaration through ACE system

5. Tax release: Payment of customs duties on behalf of others+MPF+HMF, compliant release

6. Terminal delivery: Delivery to commercial addresses or FBA warehouses throughout the United States

3、 Shipping packaging requirements for clothing and textiles from Shenzhen to the United States: triple protection, strict adherence to brand standards

Brand clothing and textiles are high-value goods that require a sea voyage of 20-45 days. The container has a large temperature difference and heavy moisture inside, and the packaging must be strictly protected from damage and moisture. Triple Protection Law:

|First layer: Inner packaging protection | Each piece of clothing should be wrapped in a dust-proof bag or non-woven bag, folded neatly, and placed in the packaging bag. The brand tag and washing label should be intact. Brand packaging is an important component of product value and requires additional protection|

|The second layer: filling and fixing | The carton is filled with sufficient cushioning materials, such as foam plastic, bubble film, pearl cotton, etc. Ensure that all clothing is securely stored in the box and does not shake or collide during transportation|

|Third layer: Outer box reinforcement | Select five layer double anti corrugated cardboard boxes (brand new, sturdy, and undamaged). The box is sealed with the word "Gong" and the tape width is ≥ 5cm. The outer box is labeled with "Fragile", "Upward", "Sun Resistant", and "Keep Dry" in both Chinese and English|

Wooden packaging requirements: If wooden pallets or wooden boxes are used, they must have IPPC fumigation markings (ISPM 15 standard). If the markings are unclear or missing, they will face return shipping.

1. Special requirements for US labels:

-Origin label: All products must be labeled with "Made in China" on the clothing and outer box, and the origin label must be sewn in the center of the inner collar

-Fiber composition label: The common name and weight percentage of each fiber must be listed

-RN registration number: If the manufacturer's full name is not indicated, the RN registration identification number must be indicated

-Care label: Care instructions such as washing, bleaching, drying, ironing, warning, etc. must be labeled

-Moisture prevention treatment: During the navigation of sea freight containers, humidity fluctuations are significant. It is recommended to place desiccants inside the container to prevent moisture

2. Core points of packaging:

-It is recommended to control the weight of a single box within 20-25kg

-The style number, size, color, quantity, and commercial invoice of each batch of clothing must correspond exactly

-The outer box label must clearly indicate the consignee information, destination port, box number, and number of pieces

4、 Shenzhen to US branded clothing and textile shipping precautions: Six core compliance red lines for exporting branded clothing and textiles to the United States

1. CPSC eFiling is a new regulation in 2026, with no exemptions (top priority)

Starting from July 8, 2026, all clothing and textiles regulated by CPSC must complete eFiling electronic filing before arrival at the port. No small batch exemption, no low value exemption, no sample exemption. Failure to file or inconsistent data will result in goods being detained, seized, or even fined.

2. The 301 tariff continues to be imposed, resulting in a high comprehensive tax rate

Starting from July 24, 2026, the United States will impose tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on 60 trading partners under Section 301. After adding basic tariffs, the comprehensive tax rate for Chinese clothing and textiles ranges from approximately 18% to 45%. It is recommended to confirm the accurate tax rate with our company before shipment and do cost accounting in advance.

3. ISF declaration must be completed 24 hours before shipment

All sea freight must complete ISF 10+2 declaration 24 hours before loading at the port of origin. Penalty of $5000 per ticket for exceeding or failing to report. Our company has the ability to independently declare ISF and ensure 100% on-time submission.

4. FTC Label Compliance - Three pieces of information are indispensable

The US FTC requires clothing and textile labels to include three information: fiber composition, country of origin, and manufacturer identity. Any missing item may result in the goods being detained or taken down. The origin label must be sewn on the inner center of the collar.

5. Children's clothing must have CPC certificate and third-party testing

Clothing worn by children aged 12 and under for export must provide CPC (Children's Product Certificate), and the testing report must be issued by a third-party laboratory officially recognized by CPSC. The testing items include lead content, phthalates, small components, flammability, etc.

6. Peak season and climate response

June to September is the peak season for clothing and textile shipments in the United States, and it is recommended to book shipments 3-4 weeks in advance. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are open year-round, with no freezing in winter. During the sea freight container voyage, there is a significant fluctuation in humidity. It is recommended to purchase additional cargo transportation insurance to ensure the safety of the goods.
