About HS Code 620590

This HS code covers men's and boys' shirts made from textile materials not elsewhere specified in heading 6205, meaning materials other than cotton (620520) or man-made fibres (620530), and not knitted or crocheted. This 'n.e.c.' category often includes shirts made from linen, silk, ramie, hemp, or unique blends, catering to niche markets, luxury segments, or specific regional preferences. International trade in these shirts involves specialized textile manufacturers and brands that focus on unique fabric properties, design, and quality. Importers often target discerning consumers seeking premium, natural, or exotic fibre garments. The trade is characterized by smaller volumes compared to cotton or synthetic shirts, but often higher unit values, reflecting the specialized materials and craftsmanship involved.
