US Tariffs on Knitted or Crocheted Clothing from Italy — 10% (2026)

Italy is a significant source of knitted or crocheted clothing imports into the United States, with approximately $82B in total bilateral trade.

As of March 2026, knitted or crocheted clothing imports from Italy face a base tariff rate of 10% under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. This rate replaced the previous IEEPA reciprocal tariff following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in V.O.S. Selections Inc. v. United States on February 20, 2026.

Under the Trade Act of 1974, Section 122 tariffs are limited to 150 days. The current 10% rate expires around July 24, 2026. Congressional action would be required to extend these tariffs beyond that date.

Knitted or Crocheted Clothing (HTS Chapter 61) carry an average MFN duty rate of 14.5% in addition to the Section 122 tariff. No additional Section 232 or Section 301 surcharges apply to most products in this category from Italy.

Key products in HTS Chapter 61 imported from Italy include T-shirts, Sweaters, Socks and hosiery, Underwear, Knitted dresses, and Leggings.
