Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 610910 when importing or exporting cotton T-shirts, singlets, or vests that are knitted or crocheted. For example, a shipment of 1,000 cotton T-shirts for a clothing retailer would fall under this code.

This code specifically covers T-shirts made of cotton, distinguishing them from similar items made from synthetic fibers or blends, which would fall under HS-6 610990. If your product is a cotton T-shirt, ensure it meets the requirements for this classification.

When classifying your goods, consider that HS-6 610910 applies only to knitted or crocheted cotton garments. If you have woven cotton shirts, you would need to look at a different heading entirely.

Understanding the nuances of this HS-6 can help avoid misclassification. For instance, T-shirts with embellishments or prints still qualify under this code as long as the primary material is cotton and the garment is knitted.
