Lordy Where did they get your Underwear?

Lordy, Lordy, I declare Where’d they get your Underwear?

Thanks to the internet and government statistics, it’s rather easy to find out what countries are importing your undies into the USA and how much they cost. Let’s start by looking at men’s chief value cotton underwear bottoms. This would include knit briefs, thongs, and boxer briefs that are over 50% in weight of cotton (does not include any elastic bands.)

OK, so maybe this is a little boring but corporate America actually paid me to do this so I’m sharing it for free with you! We need this HTS number for our next step at yet another free government web site called the Office of Textile and Apparel or (OTEXA) http://www.otexa.ita.doc.gov/

So tomorrow we’ll check out the top countries and corresponding costs!
Bye for now,
