Public synthetic evidence
Synthetic classification evidence packet: men’s cotton T-shirt
An illustrative, non-binding U.S. HTS classification packet that exposes the product facts, selected provision, rejected alternatives, assumptions, uncertainty, and exact-version sources.
Product facts supplied
- Adult men’s T-shirt, marketed and sized for men.
- 100% cotton knitted fabric.
- Short sleeves, crew neck, hemmed bottom, no collar, no buttons, and no pockets.
- Colored fabric; not underwear, protective apparel, or a woven shirt.
- Destination: United States.
Pinned exact-version provision
Tariff system: US_HTS. Captured release: 2026-rev-16 (sysv:US_HTS:US:2026-rev-16). The public records below were verified on 2026-09-01.
Selected: 6109.10.00.12, “Men's or boys': Other T-shirts: Men's (338)”.
Rationale: the supplied product is a men’s cotton knitted T-shirt. Its construction supports heading 6109, cotton supports subheading 6109.10, and the stated men’s market and sizing support the men’s statistical provision.
Plausible alternatives rejected
- 6109.10.00.40 — “Women's or girls': Other: T-shirts: Women's (339)” Rejected because the synthetic facts say the garment is marketed and sized for men; revisit if that fact is wrong or the item is a women’s style.
- 6205.20 — “Of cotton:” Rejected because heading 6205 covers non-knitted shirts while this product is stated to be knitted and constructed as a T-shirt.
Assumptions, uncertainty, and reviewer state
Assumptions: the fiber claim is accurate; the body fabric is knitted; the garment’s presentation matches an ordinary T-shirt; and the stated men’s market and sizing are reliable. No laboratory report, sample inspection, or binding ruling was provided.
Uncertainty: low to moderate for this synthetic fact pattern, but the conclusion depends on those unverified facts. Reviewer state: unreviewed synthetic example.
Facts that would change or reopen the conclusion include woven construction, a women’s or girls’ design, non-cotton composition, underwear characteristics, a collar or shirt opening, protective use, or decorative/construction features inconsistent with a T-shirt.
