HTS heading 6105 is a four-digit product category for men's or boys' shirts that are knitted or crocheted. It groups garments made from loops of yarn, rather than woven fabric, and is a starting point—not usually the complete classification needed for entry. The heading generally covers shirt-style garments, while the exact classification can depend on the garment’s construction, fiber content, and design features.
To reach the specific eight-digit HTSUS code, start with heading 6105 and follow the subheadings under it. These commonly distinguish products by material or fiber group and by garment type or other construction details. Read the wording of each subheading, along with the relevant legal notes and classification rules, because features such as fabric composition, collar or opening design, and whether the item is truly a shirt can affect the result. A customs broker or classification specialist may be needed for borderline products.
What to check
- Confirm that the garment is knitted or crocheted, rather than woven, and document how it was made.
- Verify that the item fits the men's or boys' shirt category; compare its design and intended use with the heading and subheading descriptions.
- Measure and document fiber content, including the applicable percentages by weight, because material distinctions may determine the eight-digit code.
- Check garment details such as collar, placket, sleeves, pockets, ornamentation, and construction against the exact subheading wording.
- Read the current HTSUS section and chapter notes, and confirm the final code with official tariff data or a qualified customs professional.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
