Underpants and briefs, men's or boys', of textile materials other than cotton (not knitted or crocheted).
Classification of boys' briefs under HS 6207.19
Boys' briefs made from textile materials other than cotton and which are not knitted or crocheted are classified under HS code 6207.19. This classification falls within Chapter 62, which covers articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are woven. The determination of this code relies on three primary factors: the gender/age category (men's or boys'), the garment type (underpants or briefs), and the material composition. Since the product is specified as being made of materials other than cotton—such as polyester, silk, or synthetic blends—and is constructed through weaving rather than knitting, 6207.19 is the correct residual subheading. Under the General Rules of Interpretation, specifically GRI 1 and 6, the woven nature of the fabric is the first gatekeeper, separating it from Chapter 61 (knitted goods). The material composition then further refines the classification, moving it away from the cotton-specific code 6207.11.

Codes often confused with 6207.19
Common mistake. A common misclassification for this product is HS code 6207.11, which is strictly reserved for woven cotton briefs. If the garment contains even a small majority of synthetic fibers by weight, it must move to 6207.19. Another frequent error is classifying these items under Chapter 61 (e.g., 6107.12) if the user assumes all underwear is knitted. However, if the fabric is woven (like traditional boxer material), it must stay in Chapter 62. Furthermore, if the briefs are for girls, they would be classified under heading 6208 instead of 6207. Misidentifying the age/gender category is a frequent source of customs delays.

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).
