Official HS wording (6205.20): Men's or boys' shirts > Of cotton.
How customs classifies men's shirts
6205 men's or boys' shirts (woven): .20 cotton, .30 man-made (synthetic AND artificial), .90 other (linen/flax, silk, wool; UK splits flax .90 10 vs other). Knit shirts = 6105 (.10 cotton, .20 man-made, .90 other). Chapter 62 Note 4: 6205 excludes sleeveless garments, garments with pockets below the waist, ribbed waistband or hem-tightening (those -> 6211.3x men's other garments). Closure test: left-over-right = men's (Note 9); unisex shirts with no clear gender default to WOMEN'S 6206. Fabric: cotton. CONSTRUCTION: woven -> Chapter 62 (not knitted or crocheted). Blends: classify by the fibre predominating by weight (Section XI Subheading Note 2(A) -> Note 2 to Section XI; tie = heading last in numerical order).
Knitted or woven decides the chapter: knitted and crocheted garments are Chapter 61, woven garments Chapter 62. For blends, the fibre that is largest by weight decides (Section XI, Subheading Note 2).

Indicative classification from the official UK, US and EU tariffs and published customs rulings, as checked on the date shown. It is not a binding ruling: the importer is responsible for the code declared, and a binding tariff information (BTI/ATaR) or a CBP ruling gives certainty.
