HTS heading 6206 is a product category for women’s or girls’ blouses, shirts, and shirt-blouses made as garments of heading 62, generally meaning non-knitted and non-crocheted textile apparel. It groups similar upper-body garments together; the heading alone is not the complete classification for entry purposes.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the garment belongs in heading 6206, then narrow it using the applicable material or fiber category and any relevant garment description. The lower-level provisions may distinguish garments by chief fiber, such as cotton, man-made fibers, silk, wool, or other textile materials, and the final statistical digits identify the specific U.S. reporting provision. Construction, styling, and garment details can also affect classification, so use the wording and legal notes in the current HTSUS.
What to check
- Confirm the garment is a women’s or girls’ blouse, shirt, or shirt-blouse and is not better classified as a jacket, tunic, dress, or another garment.
- Check whether the fabric is knitted or crocheted; if it is, review the relevant apparel provisions outside heading 6206 rather than assuming this heading applies.
- Identify the fiber content accurately, including blends, and determine which fiber or material rule the applicable subheading uses.
- Review the complete garment: woven construction, lining, closures, collar, sleeves, ornamentation, and intended wear can help distinguish competing provisions.
- Read the current HTSUS heading, section and chapter notes, statistical suffix descriptions, and any official classification guidance; ask a customs broker or request a binding ruling when the result is uncertain.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
