Men's Polyester Knit Dress Shirt from Germany

A lightweight polyester knit shirt designed for men, featuring long sleeves, a pointed collar, and a front button placket starting at the neckline. It covers the upper part of the body without pockets below the waist or a ribbed waistband, qualifying under HTS 6105.90.80 as a men's shirt of other textile materials (not cotton, wool, or man-made fiber blends specified elsewhere). Knitted construction distinguishes it from woven shirts in Chapter 62.

Import Tips

Verify knitted construction with lab tests (at least 10 stitches per cm in each direction) to avoid reclassification to woven shirts under 6205

Ensure labeling specifies fiber content (e.g

100% polyester) and country of origin per FTC and CBP requirements

Avoid garments with bottom tightening (drawstring/ribbing) as they shift to 6106; document stitch density to prevent audits
