HS Code for Girls' knit shirt
Girls' knit shirts, specifically blouses and shirt-blouses, are classified under HS code 6106.90. This heading covers women's or girls' blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses that are knitted or crocheted. According to the Explanatory Notes, blouses are garments intended to cover the upper part of the body, of full or partial opening from the neckline, and may have sleeves and a collar. The subheading 6106.90 is the residual category for shirts made of textile materials other than cotton (6106.10) or man-made fibers (6106.20). This includes shirts made of silk, wool, or linen. It is important to distinguish these from T-shirts and singlets, which are classified under heading 6109. Shirts in 6106 usually have a more formal construction or decorative elements compared to the basic T-shirt. The classification depends on the fiber composition and the specific design characteristics that define a 'blouse' versus a 'pullover' (6110).

Common Misclassification
The most frequent misclassification is with HS code 6109.90 (T-shirts of other textile materials). If the shirt lacks a full or partial opening or is a simple jersey-knit top, it may be considered a T-shirt. Another error is using 6106.10 for cotton blends where the 'other' fiber actually predominates by weight. Additionally, if the shirt is woven, it belongs in heading 6206. Pullovers and cardigans are often confused with shirts but are classified under 6110.
