HS Code for Boys' shirts

Classification of boys' shirts under HS code 6205.90 applies to woven shirts made of textile materials not elsewhere classified (n.e.c.) within the 6205 heading. This heading specifically excludes shirts made of cotton (6205.20), man-made fibers (6205.30), or wool/fine animal hair (6205.90 is often the catch-all, but some regions have specific wool codes). Therefore, 6205.90 is the primary code for shirts made of silk, flax (linen), hemp, or ramie. A 'shirt' in this context is a garment designed to cover the upper part of the body, having full or partial opening from the neckline, and usually featuring sleeves, a collar, and pockets. The construction must be woven; knitted shirts (like polo shirts or T-shirts) are classified under 6105 or 6109. For boys' sizes, the garment must be cut and sized according to the standards for children who are not yet adults but are beyond the 'infant' category (which falls under 6209). Accurate material identification is paramount for this code.

Common Misclassification

The most common error is misclassifying linen or silk shirts as cotton shirts (6205.20) due to similar appearance. Another major error is classifying knitted polo shirts under this code; these belong in 6105.10 (cotton) or 6105.20 (man-made). Additionally, if a shirt is part of a matching set with trousers, it might be classified as an ensemble under 6203.29 rather than an individual shirt under 6205.90.
