6103.29.05.50 - Shirts (438)

This classification, HTS 6103.29.05.50, specifically designates "Shirts" that are knitted or crocheted and fall under the broader category of men's or boys' ensembles, suits, and suit-type garments. These shirts are intended to be part of an ensemble or suit, meaning they are designed to be worn with other garments of the same textile material and pattern to form a cohesive outfit. The key defining characteristic here is the garment's function and its typical inclusion within a set, rather than being a standalone shirt.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it is crucial to understand that HTS 6103.29.05.50 is specifically for shirts. Other sibling categories at this level cover distinct garment types within the men's or boys' suit and ensemble framework. For instance, 6103.29.05.10 pertains to garments classified under heading 6101 (outerwear), 6103.29.05.20 covers jackets and blazers, 6103.29.05.30 encompasses trousers, breeches, and shorts, and 6103.29.05.60 is for sweaters. This "Shirts" classification isolates those upper-body garments designed for inclusion in a coordinated set.

As HTS 6103.29.05.50 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this specific code. Therefore, classification at this level hinges on definitively identifying the garment as a "shirt" intended for an ensemble and ensuring it meets the material requirements of the parent category (e.g., "Of other textile materials: Of wool or fine animal hair" if applicable at higher levels, though not explicitly detailed at this specific line item). Customs considerations would focus on the garment's cut, construction, and its intended pairing with other suit components.
