6211.39.80.50 - Shirts excluded from heading 6205 (840)

This HTS classification, 6211.39.80.50, encompasses men's or boys' garments, other than track suits, ski-suits, swimwear, or those specifically excluded from heading 6205, that are made from textile materials not specified as cotton, man-made fibers, or silk. The "(840)" notation suggests a statistical suffix or reference, often indicating specific reporting requirements or a particular sub-grouping. These garments are general-purpose articles of apparel that do not fall into more narrowly defined categories within heading 6211.

To properly classify under this heading, it is crucial to differentiate from its sibling categories. For instance, 6211.39.80.10 and 6211.39.80.20 cover more specific one-piece or multi-piece garment types like coveralls, jumpsuits, washsuits, and playsuits. The "Track suits:" designation, along with specific subheadings for vests (6211.39.80.60) and certain jackets (6211.39.80.70), further delineates distinct garment types. This category, therefore, serves as a residual classification for men's and boys' "other garments" made from unspecified textile materials.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level requires careful consideration of the garment's overall construction, intended use, and textile composition to ensure it is not classifiable under a more specific provision. The absence of specific subheadings means that individual customs officers will assess these garments based on their general characteristics and the distinctions from the explicitly listed sibling categories.
