Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 610711 when importing or exporting men's or boys' underpants and briefs made of cotton, knitted or crocheted. For example, a shipment of 1,000 pairs of cotton boxer briefs fits this classification.
This code specifically applies to cotton underpants and briefs, distinguishing them from similar items like those made from synthetic fibers, which fall under HS-6 610712. If your product is made of polyester or a blend, you would need to use a different HS code.
When classifying, consider the construction and material. For instance, men's cotton briefs with elastic waistbands and knitted fabric are covered under this code, while woven cotton shorts would not qualify.
If you're unsure whether your product fits, look for characteristics like the fabric type and whether the item is knitted or crocheted. This can help clarify the appropriate classification.
