6211.39.07.50 - Shirts excluded from heading 6205 (740)

This HTS category, 6211.39.07.50, specifically covers shirts for men or boys that are not knitted or crocheted, and are not specifically classified under heading 6205. The garments in this subcategory are made from other textile materials and are designed as recreational performance outerwear. A key defining characteristic for classification within this specific code is that the garment must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste.

When classifying within the "Other garments, men's or boys'" branch, it's crucial to differentiate this shirt category from its siblings. For instance, coveralls, jumpsuits, washsuits, and sunsuits fall under different sub-codes (6211.39.07.10 and 6211.39.07.20 respectively). Furthermore, track suits, vests (6211.39.07.60), and specific jacket-type garments excluded from heading 6201 (6211.39.07.70) are distinct classifications. This category is specifically for shirts, distinguishing them from other types of men's or boys' outerwear.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges entirely on the precise composition and intended use of the garment. The criteria of being a shirt, made of "other textile materials," falling under recreational performance outerwear, and crucially, containing 70% or more silk or silk waste by weight, are the definitive factors for correctly classifying goods under 6211.39.07.50.
