Underpants and briefs, men's or boys', of textile materials (other than cotton or man-made fibres), knitted or crocheted.
Classification of boys' knit briefs under HS 6107.19
Boys' knit briefs are classified under HS code 6107.19 because they fall within the category of men's or boys' underpants and briefs that are manufactured using knitting or crocheting techniques. This specific subheading is reserved for garments made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. In the Harmonized System, classification is determined by the gender of the intended wearer, the construction method (knitted vs. woven), and the material composition. Since these items are knitted and intended for boys, they belong to heading 6107. The residual category .19 is used when the primary materials—cotton (6107.11) or synthetic/artificial fibers (6107.12)—are not the main components. This includes luxury or niche materials such as silk, wool, or linen, provided they are knitted. Proper classification requires a detailed fiber analysis to ensure the material does not meet the thresholds for cotton or man-made fiber categories.

Codes often confused with 6107.19
Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 6107.11, which is specifically for cotton knit briefs, and 6107.12, which covers man-made fibers like polyester or nylon. Importers often default to these codes without verifying the exact fiber content. Additionally, if the briefs are woven rather than knitted, they must be classified under heading 6207. Another error involves confusing boys' sizes with men's; however, both fall under 6107, though regional sub-statistics may differ.

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).
