Men's Polyester Boxer Briefs

These men's boxer briefs are made from knitted polyester fabric, providing stretch and moisture-wicking properties for everyday comfort. They qualify under HTS 6107.19.90.00 as underpants and briefs of other textile materials (not cotton, wool, or man-made microfiber), specifically designed as men's undergarments without pockets or tightening at the bottom.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' status, avoiding reclassification to cotton or man-made fiber subheadings

• Label garments clearly with fiber composition and country of origin per FTC and CBP requirements to prevent customs delays

• Ensure no drawstrings or ribbed waistbands at the bottom, as these could shift classification under Chapter 61 notes
