T Shirt HS Code: 6109 cotton and knit HTS lookup
Looking for a T shirt HS code? Knitted or crocheted T-shirts generally begin under HS heading 6109. Cotton garments commonly begin at 6109.10, while man-made fibers and other textile materials follow different branches. The 10-digit U.S. HTS line also depends on garment construction and wearer category.
T shirt HS code: quick answer
For a knitted cotton T-shirt, 6109.10.00 is a candidate starting point in the 2026 U.S. HTS data shown below. It is a research lead, not a final classification: verify the garment facts, country of origin, current duty columns and official notes before filing.
Review the 6109.10.00 code detail or check the official USITC HTS record.
HS and HTS classification is fact-specific. Product material, function, technical specs, country-specific tariff schedules, chapter notes, and CBP rulings can change the correct code.
Confirm the construction
Heading 6109 is for knitted or crocheted garments. Woven shirts and garments with different construction or features can fall elsewhere.
Confirm the garment type
Tank tops, singlets, undershirts, fashion tops, and garments with collars or openings are not always classified as ordinary T-shirts.
Confirm the statistical suffix
The U.S. schedule can distinguish men’s or boys’, women’s or girls’, and other categories after the international six-digit level.
What does the 16.5% rate mean?
The displayed general duty rate belongs to the reviewed cotton T-shirt candidate in the 2026 U.S. HTS. It does not include every origin program, trade remedy, or later tariff revision. Confirm the current line, origin, and any Chapter 99 measures before estimating the total import charge.
