Last updated: April 2026 dataWoven cotton shirts for men and boys are among the most actively traded apparel items in U.S. import commerce, encompassing dress shirts, casual button-front shirts, and work shirts across a broad range of cotton weights and weave types. Cotton content is the defining classification criterion: shirts with a chief weight of cotton in a woven (not knitted) construction belong here, while cotton-polyester blends where synthetic fiber predominates shift to the non-cotton heading. Bangladesh, Vietnam, and India have been prominent suppliers of woven cotton shirts to the U.S. market, and importers should assess country-specific tariff treatment and any applicable trade remedy measures for their sourcing origin.

The distinction is based on fabric construction: woven shirts are made from interlaced warp and weft yarns on a loom, producing a structured fabric (such as broadcloth, poplin, or oxford weave), while knitted shirts are made from looped yarn construction (such as jersey or piqué). T-shirts and polo shirts are typically knitted and classify under a separate heading. If the fabric construction is ambiguous, CBP may require a technical fabric analysis.
Imported men's cotton shirts must comply with the FTC's Textile Fiber Products Identification Act, requiring a label stating fiber content (e.g., '100% Cotton'), country of origin, manufacturer or importer identity, and care instructions under the Care Labeling Rule. Labels must be in English and permanently affixed. Non-compliant labeling can result in CBP holds, FTC enforcement action, or refusal of entry.
