6205.20.20.16 - Men's (340)

This HTS classification, 6205.20.20.16, specifically covers men's dress shirts constructed from cotton. These garments are designed for formal or semi-formal wear, typically featuring a collar, cuffs, and a buttoned front closure. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that the fabric used in its construction exhibits two or more distinct colors, woven into the warp and/or the filling of the textile. This multicolor aspect distinguishes these shirts from those made with solid color or patterned fabrics that do not achieve the two-color criterion through the weave structure.

The immediate sibling to this classification is 6205.20.20.21, which pertains to boys' dress shirts of cotton with similar fabric construction. Therefore, the primary distinction between these two sibling codes lies solely in the intended wearer: men versus boys. Both classifications fall under the broader "Of cotton" and "Dress shirts" categories, highlighting that the distinction is at the gendered garment level within the specified material and style.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Classification under 6205.20.20.16 is final for men's cotton dress shirts featuring a fabric woven with at least two colors in its warp and/or filling. Importers and exporters should ensure that the visual and structural characteristics of the fabric align precisely with the "two or more colors in the warp and/or the filling" requirement to ensure correct classification.
