HS Code for Men's shirts

HS code 6205.90 is used for men's or boys' shirts that are woven and made from textile materials not specified in other subheadings of 6205. While cotton (6205.20) and man-made fibers (6205.30) are the most common shirt materials, 6205.90 captures shirts made from silk, linen, ramie, or hemp. To be classified as a shirt under this heading, the garment must have a full or partial front opening starting from the neckline and sleeves (long or short). It excludes knitted shirts, which are classified under Chapter 61, and undergarments like T-shirts or vests (6109). The classification is driven by the "woven" construction and the specific fiber content, following the hierarchy established in the HS nomenclature for Chapter 62.

Products Included

• Woven silk dress shirts for men
• Linen casual button-down shirts
• Ramie textile shirts
• Hemp fiber woven shirts
• Silk-blend woven shirts (where silk is the predominant fiber)

Common Misclassification

The most common error is misclassifying these as 6205.20 (cotton) or 6205.30 (man-made fibers) when the material is a blend. Another frequent mistake is confusing them with 6105.90, which is for knitted shirts of other materials. If a shirt is knitted rather than woven, it cannot stay in heading 6205. Additionally, if the garment is intended as an overcoat or jacket, it moves to 6201.
