What HS 6105.90 covers
This residual category covers men's and boys' knitted or crocheted shirts made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. This includes items crafted from wool, fine animal hair (e.g., cashmere, merino), linen, silk, ramie, or blends where these 'other' fibers are predominant. These shirts often cater to niche markets, luxury segments, or specific seasonal demands, such as wool knits for winter. International trade involves specialized manufacturers, often in countries known for specific natural fibers or high-quality textile production (e.g., Italy for fine wools, China for silk). Importers are typically high-end boutiques, luxury department stores, and brands focusing on natural or sustainable materials. Key aspects include the premium value of the raw materials, specialized knitting techniques, and the appeal of natural fiber properties like warmth, breathability, or unique texture.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
