Last updated: August 2026 dataKnitted and crocheted cotton shirts for men and boys are among the most actively traded apparel categories entering the US, with Section 301 tariff exposure a key cost variable for importers sourcing from certain Asian origins. Classification hinges on the fabric construction method — knit or crochet — distinguishing these shirts from woven counterparts classified elsewhere. Fiber content certification and country-of-origin documentation are critical at entry, as textile and apparel rules of origin under US trade law are among the most complex in the tariff schedule.

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.
