Overview

This HTS classification, 6205.20.20.21, specifically designates boys' dress shirts that are crafted from cotton and exhibit two or more colors in either the warp or the filling (or both). These are typically considered finished garments intended for more formal or semi-formal wear for young males, as opposed to casual shirts. The key classification criteria hinge on the material composition (cotton), the garment type (dress shirt), the intended recipient (boys), and the color characteristics of the fabric weave.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6205.20.20.16 (Men's), is the demographic target. While both may fall under the broader "Men's or boys' shirts" heading and share the "of cotton," "Other," and "Dress shirts" criteria, this specific subheading is exclusively for boys' apparel. This distinction is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics, reflecting the separate import/export considerations for garments designed for different age groups.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories beneath 6205.20.20.21. Therefore, classification at this level is final based on the combined criteria of cotton fabrication, dress shirt style, and the presence of multiple colors within the fabric's warp and/or filling. Examples of garments fitting this description would include tailored button-down shirts with striped patterns created by different colored yarns in the weave, or plaid shirts where the intersecting colored threads contribute to the overall design.
