Shirts made from knitted or crocheted fabric fall under SITC 84371, while those made from woven fabric are classified in a separate heading. The fabric construction method — not the garment's appearance — is the controlling factor, so importers should obtain mill certifications confirming the fabric type before filing entry.
Importers generally need a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and a textile declaration or visa (where applicable). Country-of-origin marking must comply with US textile rules of origin, which require the fabric to be formed and the garment cut and sewn in the declared country for most preference programs.
