Importers of Men's & Boys' Knitted Cotton Shirts paid $17.5M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 27% on $64.7M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataIndia leads US imports of knitted cotton shirts for men and boys, followed closely by Vietnam and Bangladesh — a supply base that reflects the labor-cost advantages and textile infrastructure of South and Southeast Asia. The US schedule breaks this heading into four 10-digit lines: men's shirts (6105100010), boys' shirts imported as playsuit parts (6105100020), boys' shirts not elsewhere specified (6105100030), and a general line (6105100000). Cotton fiber content is the key classification trigger; a shirt with significant synthetic blending may shift to heading 610520 instead. Importers should also note that knitted construction — as opposed to woven — determines placement in Chapter 61 rather than Chapter 62.

CBP applies the fabric construction test: if the shirt's outer shell fabric is made by interlocking loops (knit), it falls under Chapter 61; if the fabric is formed by interlacing warp and weft yarns (woven), it falls under Chapter 62. The distinction must be verified at the fabric level, not the garment's finished appearance.
A shirt imported as a component of a playsuit set — where the shirt and coordinating bottoms are presented together and designed to be worn as a unit — may qualify for the playsuit-parts line. If the shirt is sold or imported separately, it would typically fall under the general boys' shirts line (6105100030). Documentation showing the set composition is important to support this classification.
