Men's Wool Merino Ski Shirt

A lightweight, moisture-wicking shirt made from fine merino wool, designed for layering under ski jackets during alpine skiing. It features a full front zipper, thumb loops, and flatlock seams for reduced chafing, qualifying as recreational performance outwear under HTS 6211.39.03.30 due to its exclusion from heading 6205 as a specialized shirt without a ribbed waistband.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% fine animal hair like merino wool via lab tests for accurate classification under 6211.39

• Include performance features documentation (e.g

• moisture-wicking specs) to justify exclusion from 6205 and avoid reclassification

• Label as men's based on left-over-right closure; watch for common pitfalls like misdeclared blends shifting to synthetic headings
