6103.10 - Suits:

This HTS category, 6103.10, specifically addresses knitted or crocheted suits designed for men or boys. These are complete garments consisting of at least two pieces, typically a jacket and trousers or shorts, intended to be worn together as a coordinated outfit. The defining characteristic is their construction through knitting or crocheting, distinguishing them from woven suits which fall under different HTS chapters. The context of "suits" here implies a formal or semi-formal ensemble rather than individual garments.

While sibling categories at this level cover individual components like ensembles, suit-type jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches, and shorts, this node focuses solely on the complete, matched suit. It is crucial to differentiate between a complete suit classified here and separate jacket and trouser sets that would be classified under their respective sibling headings, even if sold together. The intent is for a harmonized, coordinated outfit as the primary classification criterion.

The subcategories within 6103.10 further refine classification based on the primary textile material used. This allows for specific duties and trade statistics to be applied to suits made from wool or fine animal hair, synthetic fibers, or other textile materials. Understanding these material distinctions is essential for accurate import and export declarations.
