HTS heading 6106 is a four-digit product category for women’s or girls’ blouses and shirts made by knitting or crocheting. It groups garments whose fabric construction is knitted or crocheted, rather than woven, and whose design and use fit the heading’s blouse-or-shirt description. The heading is only the starting point; it does not by itself provide the complete tariff classification.
To reach the correct eight-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the garment belongs in heading 6106, then follow the heading’s subheadings and statistical subdivisions. These commonly distinguish the garment by fiber or material—such as the applicable textile category—and may also distinguish particular garment types or other stated features. Read the legal notes, section and chapter notes, and the full wording of each subdivision. The final code should match the product’s actual construction and measurable characteristics, not just its marketing name.
What to check
- Confirm the garment is for women or girls and is properly described as a blouse or shirt; compare its features with the HTSUS wording and relevant notes.
- Verify that the outer fabric is knitted or crocheted, and document the knit construction rather than assuming it from appearance.
- Identify the fiber content by weight and check whether the tariff text calls for a specific material distinction, including blends or other textile materials.
- Review the complete hierarchy from heading 6106 through the eight-digit subdivision, including legal notes, and do not stop at the four-digit heading.
- Keep product records such as fiber percentages, construction details, garment measurements, and photographs; seek a customs broker or binding classification ruling when the design or material is unclear.

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.
