What HS 6107.19 covers

This residual category covers men's and boys' knitted or crocheted underpants and briefs made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibres. This typically includes items crafted from natural fibers like wool (e.g., merino), silk, linen, bamboo viscose, or unique blends where no single fiber type predominates from the other two categories. This segment often targets niche markets, such as luxury goods, thermal wear, or specialized performance apparel where specific natural fiber properties are desired. Importers are usually specialty boutiques, high-end department stores, or outdoor/performance gear retailers. Exporters might be countries known for specific natural fiber production or advanced textile manufacturing capable of handling these specialized materials. Key trade aspects include material certification, ethical sourcing, and meeting specific performance claims.

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).
