HS Code for Boys' cotton briefs
Boys' cotton briefs that are woven are classified under HS code 6207.11. This classification is governed by the rules of Chapter 62, which applies to apparel that is not knitted or crocheted. Heading 6207 specifically covers men's or boys' underpants, briefs, nightshirts, pajamas, bathrobes, and similar articles. The subheading 6207.11 is designated for underpants and briefs where cotton is the prevailing textile material. To be classified here, the garment must be constructed from woven fabric, which is characterized by the interlacing of warp and weft threads. This is common for traditional boxer-style briefs or structured undergarments. The classification is precise: it requires the garment to be for a male (men or boys), to be an undergarment (briefs), to be made of cotton, and to be woven. Any deviation in these characteristics—such as a change in material or construction method—would result in a different HS code.

Common Misclassification
A frequent error is classifying these items under HS code 6107.11. While 6107.11 also covers boys' cotton briefs, it is strictly for those that are knitted or crocheted (such as standard stretchy jersey cotton). Most modern briefs are knitted, so 6207.11 is reserved for the less common woven variety. Another misclassification is 6207.19, which is used if the woven briefs are made of synthetic fibers or any material other than cotton. Finally, if the garment is intended for girls, it must be classified under heading 6208, specifically 6208.11 for woven cotton slips or similar undergarments.
