Part of our Garments commodity guide →What actually qualifies: the yarn-forward rule
CPTPP's rules of origin for textiles and apparel (Annex 4-A) don't use a simple "assembled in a CPTPP country" test. They use a "yarn-forward" rule: a garment only qualifies for the CPTPP rate if the yarn and fabric it's cut from were themselves formed in a CPTPP member country — not just cut and sewn there.
A shirt sewn in Vietnam from Chinese-milled fabric does not qualify, even though Vietnam is a CPTPP member. The same shirt sewn from Vietnamese or other CPTPP-sourced fabric does. This is the single most commonly misunderstood point in claiming CPTPP treatment on apparel — confirm the fabric's origin, not just the assembly location, before claiming the rate.

Frequently asked questions
HS 6115's tariff schedule splits by yarn denier and product subtype (compression hosiery vs. standard hosiery, by fibre) in a way most other garment headings don't — resulting in a 16–18% spread rather than one uniform rate.
