Classification of boys' knit shirt under HS 6105.90
The classification for a boys' knit shirt under HS code 6105.90 is based on the garment being a knitted or crocheted shirt for men or boys, made of textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers. Heading 6105 covers shirts that typically have a full or partial opening from the neckline, often with buttons or other fasteners, and sleeves. The use of "other textile materials" refers to fibers such as silk, linen, or ramie. It is essential to distinguish these from T-shirts or singlets, which are classified under heading 6109. The knit structure is a defining feature, as woven shirts are classified under heading 6205. Customs authorities look for the specific fiber content and the presence of a collar or placket to confirm the classification under 6105.90. This code is specifically for shirts that do not fit into the more common categories of cotton or synthetic blends, representing a smaller, often more premium segment of the apparel market.

Codes often confused with 6105.90
Common mistake. A common misclassification is 6105.10 (cotton shirts) or 6105.20 (man-made fiber shirts). Additionally, many importers mistakenly use 6109.90 for these items. However, heading 6109 is strictly for T-shirts, singlets, and other vests. If the garment has a collar and a buttoned placket, it must be classified under 6105. Another potential error is 6205.90, which is for woven shirts of other textile materials; the knit versus woven distinction is paramount.

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).
