Men's Cotton Crewneck Sweatshirt from Germany

A classic crewneck sweatshirt made from 100% knitted cotton, featuring long sleeves, ribbed cuffs, and a relaxed fit for casual wear. It falls under HTS 6110.20.20.69 as a men's or boys' sweater or similar article of cotton, not qualifying as a suit, ensemble, or other specific exclusions in Chapter 61. The garment lacks specialized features like drawstrings or heavy padding that would shift it elsewhere.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content is at least 70% cotton via lab tests to confirm Chapter 61 classification; blends under 50% may shift to Chapter 62

• Label garments clearly with country of origin, care instructions, and fiber composition per FTC and CBP requirements to avoid delays

• Avoid classifying as 'activewear' if featuring moisture-wicking treatments, as this could trigger sportswear scrutiny under heading 6112
