6205.20.20.03 - Containing compact yarns described in statistical reporting number 5205.42.0021, 5205.43.0021, 5205.44.0021, 5205.46.0021 or 5205.47.0021 (340)

This HTS category, 6205.20.20.03, specifically classifies men's or boys' shirts of cotton that are not dress shirts and do not fall under the "other" classification for cotton shirts. The defining characteristic of this category is the use of compact yarns, as detailed in specific statistical reporting numbers (e.g., 5205.42.0021). This detailed yarn specification is crucial for distinguishing these shirts from other cotton shirts that may use different yarn constructions.

Unlike the "Dress shirts" sibling category, which generally refers to more formal shirt styles designed for business or formal wear, this category encompasses a broader range of casual or semi-formal shirts made from cotton. The "Other" sibling category at this level likely captures cotton shirts that do not meet the specific compact yarn requirements of this code. Therefore, the presence of compact yarns, as outlined in the associated statistical reporting numbers, is the primary criterion for classifying shirts under 6205.20.20.03.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification is determined by the material (cotton), the garment type (men's or boys' shirt), the exclusion of dress shirt styles, and the specific requirement for compact yarns meeting the referenced statistical reporting numbers. Examples of shirts that would fall here include casual button-down shirts, polo shirts, or other woven cotton shirts where the cotton yarn is spun using a compact spinning process.
