6205.90.40 - Other

This HTS category, 6205.90.40, specifically addresses men's or boys' shirts that are not knitted or crocheted and are made from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, or silk. The "Other" designation in the description indicates that it encompasses a broad range of materials not explicitly detailed in preceding subcategories. This includes shirts crafted from cotton, linen, synthetic fibers, and other manufactured or plant-based textiles not otherwise specified.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, "Of wool or fine animal hair" and "Of silk or silk waste," is crucial. Those sibling categories are dedicated to shirts made from those specific natural fibers. Therefore, 6205.90.40 serves as a residual category for all other men's or boys' non-knitted shirts, ensuring comprehensive coverage within Chapter 62. The key differentiator lies solely in the primary textile material composition of the shirt.

Within this "Other" classification, further subdivisions exist to account for specific import restraints that may apply. These subcategories, 6205.90.40.10 through 6205.90.40.40, differentiate based on whether the shirts are subject to restraints related to cotton, wool, or man-made fibers. The final subcategory, 6205.90.40.40 ("Other"), captures those shirts made of materials not subject to these specific restraints, ensuring precise tariff application and adherence to trade regulations.
