6205.90.30.10 - Subject to cotton restraints (340) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6205.90.30.10, specifically covers men's or boys' shirts manufactured from textile materials other than cotton, wool, or man-made fibers, and that are subject to specific cotton restraint provisions. These shirts are part of the broader category of non-knitted or crocheted apparel and are distinct from those made from silk or silk waste. The "Other textile materials" designation here implies a focus on certain types of natural fibers or blends not otherwise specified within this sub-heading.

The key differentiating factor for this code is its inclusion under cotton restraints, indicated by "(340)". This signifies that while the material may not be exclusively cotton, its importation or exportation is subject to specific quantitative limitations or trade agreements that pertain to cotton or cotton-like fibers. This contrasts with sibling categories that are subject to wool restraints (6205.90.30.20), man-made fiber restraints (6205.90.30.30), or fall under a general "Other" category without specific restraint clauses (6205.90.30.50).

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into 6205.90.30.10 hinges on the determination of the shirt's material composition and whether it triggers the specific cotton restraint provisions associated with this code. Importers and exporters should carefully review the nature of the textile materials used in these shirts and consult relevant trade agreements or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) guidance to ensure accurate classification and compliance with any applicable restraint requirements.
