Men's Patagonia Capilene Cool Daily Shirt from Japan
This lightweight, moisture-wicking polyester shirt is designed for outdoor recreational activities like hiking and climbing, featuring technical fabrics for performance but excluded from heading 6205 due to its sport-specific construction and lack of traditional shirt features like a full front opening. It falls under HTS 6211.39.1550 as recreational performance outwear for men. The shirt's synthetic blend provides UPF protection and odor resistance.

Import Tips
