6103.23.00.30 - Sweaters (445)

This HTS category, 6103.23.00.30, specifically covers sweaters that are knitted or crocheted and are intended for men or boys. As part of the broader classification for men's or boys' ensembles, suits, and suit-type garments, these sweaters are categorized based on their material composition and construction. The "sweaters" designation signifies a distinct type of knitted or crocheted garment, typically worn as an outer layer or over a shirt, characterized by its body-hugging fit and often featuring a distinct neckline and sleeve construction.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike other entries within heading 6103.23.00, which may encompass complete ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, or shirts, this particular code is exclusively for individual sweater garments. For instance, if the garment is a two-piece set that includes a sweater and matching trousers as an ensemble, it would likely be classified under "Ensembles." Similarly, if the item is primarily a jacket or blazer, it would fall under a different sibling category.

Since this is a leaf node in the HTS classification database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions within this code will rely on ensuring the garment precisely meets the definition of a "sweater" as understood within the context of men's or boys' knitted or crocheted apparel, adhering to the material requirements (synthetic fibers, and containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair) defined by its parent categories.
