Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 610610 when importing or exporting women's or girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses made from knitted or crocheted cotton. For example, a shipment of cotton knit blouses designed for summer wear falls under this code.
This code specifically applies to garments crafted from cotton, distinguishing them from similar items made from synthetic fibers, which would fall under different HS codes. For instance, HS-6 610620 covers women's blouses made from synthetic fibers.
When considering HS-6 610610, keep in mind that it includes various styles of tops, such as short-sleeve shirts, long-sleeve blouses, and casual shirt-blouses. Each of these is characterized by their knitted or crocheted construction.
If you're dealing with garments that are not primarily cotton, such as those made from blends or other materials, you'll need to look at alternative classifications. This ensures compliance with customs regulations and accurate duty assessments.
