6105Shirts; men's or boys', knitted or crocheted

Chapter 61: Articles of apparel, knitted

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 6105 when importing or exporting men's or boys' shirts made from knitted or crocheted fabric. For example, if you're shipping a batch of cotton polo shirts, this is the correct classification to use.

When deciding between the HS-6 lines, consider the material of the shirts. HS-610510 is specifically for cotton shirts, while HS-610520 covers those made from man-made fibers like polyester or nylon. If your shirts are made from a different textile, you would use HS-610590.

It's important to accurately classify your goods to avoid customs delays. If your shipment includes a mix of cotton and synthetic shirts, you will need to separate them according to their respective HS-6 codes to ensure compliance with customs regulations.

If you're unsure about the material composition of your shirts, consult with your supplier or manufacturer. This will help you determine the correct HS-6 code and avoid potential issues during import or export.
