HS-4 · Heading
6106 — Blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses; women's or girls', knitted or crocheted
Chapter 61: Articles of apparel, knitted
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6106 when importing or exporting women's or girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses made from knitted or crocheted materials. For example, if you're shipping a batch of cotton blouses for a retail store, this is the code you'll need.
Choosing the correct HS-6 subheading under 6106 depends on the fabric composition. If your shipment consists solely of cotton items, select 610610. However, if the garments are made from synthetic fibers, you should use 610620.
For products made from other textile materials that don't fall under cotton or man-made fibers, you will need to classify them under 610690. This includes items like those made from silk or wool blends, which are not specifically cotton or synthetic.
