6103.10.60.30 - Waistcoats imported as parts of suits (359)

This HTS classification, 6103.10.60.30, specifically designates waistcoats that are imported as integral components of suits. These waistcoats, manufactured from knitted or crocheted materials, are intended to be worn in conjunction with matching suit jackets and trousers, forming a complete three-piece suit ensemble. Their classification hinges on their role as a part of a larger suit, rather than as a standalone garment.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS 6103.10.60.10 pertains to knitted or crocheted jackets that are imported as parts of suits, while HTS 6103.10.60.15 covers trousers, breeches, and shorts also imported as components of suits. This current classification is solely for the waistcoat element, underscoring the specificity of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule in identifying individual components when they are part of a set.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories within 6103.10.60.30. Classification at this level is definitive for knitted or crocheted waistcoats that are clearly identifiable as being imported as part of a suit set. The primary determinant for classification here is the intended use and presentation of the waistcoat as a piece of a larger suit assembly.
