Overview
This HTS category, 6106, specifically covers women's or girls' blouses and shirts that have been knitted or crocheted. The defining characteristic of items classified here is their construction method; they are not woven but rather formed by interlacing loops of yarn. This section is situated within Chapter 61, which pertains to all knitted or crocheted articles of apparel and clothing accessories, signifying a broad grouping of garments made through this specific textile process.
Within the vast HTS classification system, HTS 6106 is distinct from sibling categories that cover entirely different product types, such as live animals (Chapter 01), mineral products, or base metals. Its placement within Section XI, "Textile and Textile Articles," and specifically Chapter 61, clearly demarcates its domain as knitted apparel, differentiating it from woven garments found in other chapters.
To further refine classification, HTS 6106 is subdivided based on the primary textile material used in the garment's construction. The subcategories include those made "Of cotton" (6106.10.00), "Of man-made fibers" (6106.20), and "Of other textile materials" (6106.90), which would encompass items made from materials like silk, wool, or linen not covered by the preceding headings. These subdivisions are crucial for determining applicable duty rates and import regulations.
