HS Code 6105Shirts; men's or boys', knitted or crocheted
3 six-digit codes · Heading 5 of 17 in Chapter 61 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
The right six-digit code depends on the fibre the shirt is made from.
“Shirts; men's or boys', knitted or crocheted” divides three ways under heading 6105 — 610510, 610520 and 610590. Each carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 5 of 17 in Chapter 61, Apparel and clothing accessories; knitted or crocheted, which runs to 106 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 6105
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 610510 | Shirts; men's or boys', of cotton, knitted or crocheted |
| 610520 | Shirts; men's or boys', of man-made fibres, knitted or crocheted |
| 610590 | Shirts; men's or boys', of textile materials (other than cotton or man-made fibres), knitted or crocheted |
What HS code 6105 covers
Knitted cloth is built from loops of yarn instead of woven threads. If a shirt for a man or boy is made this way, it belongs here. Many buyers simply call these men's knit shirts.
The heading sits in Chapter 61, knitted apparel, which is part of Section XI, Textiles and Textile Articles. The Harmonized System lets every country describe goods in the same way up to six digits. You may also see the heading written as HSN code 6105 or HTS code 6105. The first digits are the same.
The heading name says nothing about the fibre. That detail comes one level down, in the six-digit code.
How to choose between 610510, 610520 and 610590
The fibre is what separates the three codes. Look at the fibre content on the product spec or the label, then match it to one line below.
A national tariff line can go beyond six digits. Your own country may add more digits after the code you pick here. The six-digit code is the shared part.
- 610590: men's or boys' knitted shirts of any other textile material, meaning neither cotton nor man-made fibres.
What does HS code 6105 not include?
Heading 6105 is only for shirts. Other knitted garments for men and boys have their own headings. Women's and girls' shirts are not here either.
The difference between HS 6105 and 6109 is the garment type. T-shirts, singlets and other vests are classified under 6109, whatever the wearer's sex.
