Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 610510 when importing or exporting men's or boys' shirts made of cotton that are knitted or crocheted. For example, a shipment of 100 cotton polo shirts for retail would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers shirts made from cotton, distinguishing them from similar items like those made from synthetic fibers, which would fall under HS-6 610520. Understanding this distinction is crucial for accurate tariff classification.
When classifying shirts, consider the construction method. Knitted or crocheted shirts are different from woven shirts, which are classified under a different heading. This HS-6 line focuses solely on the knitted or crocheted varieties.
If you're unsure whether your product qualifies, check the fabric content and construction method. For instance, a cotton blend shirt may not qualify under this code if it contains less than 50% cotton.
