Classification of synthetic shirts
CN code 620530 covers men's and boys' shirts of synthetic fibers, other than knitted or crocheted. Synthetic fibers include polyester, polyamide, and acrylic. Polyester shirts are popular in workwear and uniforms for crease resistance and easy care. Classification requires the synthetic fiber to be the predominant fiber by weight. Shirts from polyester-cotton blends where polyester predominates are classified under this code. A shirt must have formal characteristics - a collar, front button fastening, and sleeves. The product must be woven, not knitted.
Regulatory requirements
Synthetic fiber shirts are subject to labeling requirements of Regulation (EU) No 1007/2011. REACH requirements apply to disperse dyes for polyester, formaldehyde in finishing processes (non-iron shirts), and nickel in metal buttons. Shirts in direct contact with skin face stricter formaldehyde limits. PFAS substances in stain-resistant finishes face increasing restrictions. The GPSR requires product traceability and risk assessment.
Import and trade
Synthetic fiber shirts imported into the EU originate mainly from China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Turkey. Origin rules require double transformation. Customs documentation must describe the product as a shirt with fiber composition. Tariff preferences depend on the country of origin. Customs authorities may verify fiber content and take samples.
Synthetic men's shirts - REACH restricted substances
CN 6205 30 covers men's woven shirts of synthetic fibres. Synthetic shirts are subject to REACH regulation requirements regarding chemical substances in clothing. Restricted substances include formaldehyde, azo dyes releasing carcinogenic amines, nickel in metal accessories and nonylphenols. The importer is responsible for ensuring compliance with Annex XVII of the REACH regulation. Border controls may involve sampling for laboratory testing.
Frequently asked questions
Is a polyester-cotton blend shirt where polyester dominates classified under 620530?
Yes. With a composition of, e.g., 55 percent polyester, 45 percent cotton - code 620530, as polyester (synthetic fiber) predominates by weight. With reversed proportions, the correct code is 620520 (cotton shirts).
Is a polyester uniform shirt classified under 620530?
Yes, provided it is made from woven polyester fabric and has shirt characteristics - a collar and front fastening. Standard-cut uniform shirts are classified as regular shirts. Protective clothing with PPE certification may require separate classification.
Is a short-sleeve polyester shirt the same code?
Yes. Sleeve length does not affect tariff classification. Polyester shirts with short and long sleeves are classified under 620530, provided they have a collar and front fastening.
What chemicals are restricted in shirts CN 6205 30?
Synthetic fibre shirts under CN 6205 30 must not contain azo dyes releasing carcinogenic amines, formaldehyde above limits, nonylphenols or nickel in skin-contact metal parts under REACH Annex XVII.
