Men's Polyester Knit Dress Shirt from Japan

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
