Classification of girls' knit shirt under HS 6106.90
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).

Codes often confused with 6106.90
Common mistake. 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.

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).
