6103.29.05 - Of wool or fine animal hair

This HTS code, 6103.29.05, classifies knitted or crocheted ensembles for men or boys specifically manufactured from wool or fine animal hair. Ensembles, in this context, refer to sets of garments that are intended to be worn together as a coordinated outfit. The defining characteristic of this category is the textile material used, restricting it to pure wool, cashmere, angora, or other fine animal hairs, as opposed to synthetic or artificial fibers.

The sibling categories, such as 6103.29.10 for artificial fibers and 6103.29.20 for other textile materials, highlight the crucial role of material composition in determining the correct classification. While these sibling categories also cover knitted or crocheted ensembles for men or boys, their scope is differentiated by the primary fiber content. This specific code ensures that garments made of natural wool and fine animal hairs are appropriately categorized, reflecting their distinct material properties and often higher value.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to provide more granular detail on the specific components of the ensemble. These subcategories, such as those for garments described under heading 6101 (e.g., overcoats, jackets, and similar articles), jackets and blazers described under heading 6103, trousers, breeches, shorts, shirts, and sweaters, allow for precise identification based on the type of garments included in the set. This detailed breakdown is essential for accurate tariff assessment and trade compliance.
