Effective Rate

Kuwait is a significant source of knitted or crocheted clothing imports into the United States, with approximately $8B in total bilateral trade.

The current tariff framework for knitted or crocheted clothing from Kuwait reflects the post-SCOTUS landscape: a 10% Section 122 tariff replaced the previously higher IEEPA rates after the Court's February 2026 ruling.

The Section 122 tariff is subject to a 150-day statutory time limit and is set to expire approximately July 24, 2026, unless Congress acts to extend or replace it. USTR has proposed 12.5% Section 301 duties on 46 countries — including China, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Japan, and South Korea — as a replacement, with a July 20, 2026 completion deadline, so importers should monitor developments closely as the deadline approaches.

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 Kuwait.

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