Overview
This HTS category, 6109, encompasses a range of knitted or crocheted garments that are typically worn as base layers or for casual wear, characterized by their simple construction and often sleeveless or short-sleeved designs. This includes classic t-shirts, as well as singlets and tank tops. The defining feature is their method of construction – knitted or crocheted fabric – distinguishing them from woven garments or those made through other manufacturing processes.
Category 6109 sits within Chapter 61, which broadly covers knitted or crocheted articles of apparel and clothing accessories. While siblings in Chapter 61 might include other types of knitted tops like sweaters (Chapter 6110) or shirts (Chapter 6105), 6109 specifically targets garments that are simpler in design and cut, often lacking collars, cuffs, or complex fastenings, and are generally considered more casual or underwear-like in nature.
The subcategories within 6109 are determined by the primary textile material used in their manufacture. This allows for differentiation based on fiber content, a crucial factor in determining duty rates and import/export regulations. The main subdivisions are for garments "Of cotton" and those "Of other textile materials," which would then be further detailed by specific material classifications at lower levels of the HTS.
