6103.29.10 - Of artificial fibers

This HTS category, 6103.29.10, specifically covers men's or boys' ensembles, knitted or crocheted, that are constructed from artificial fibers. An ensemble, in this context, typically refers to a set of matching garments intended to be worn together, such as a suit or a coordinated outfit. The defining characteristic of this classification is the material composition, which is limited to artificial fibers, differentiating it from garments made from natural fibers.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial. HTS 6103.29.05 covers ensembles of wool or fine animal hair, whereas this category, 6103.29.10, is exclusively for ensembles made from man-made fibers like polyester, nylon, or rayon. The other sibling, 6103.29.20, is a residual category for ensembles of "other textile materials" not otherwise specified. Therefore, the material of construction is the primary differentiator at this level.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to classify specific types of garments that might be included in such ensembles. These subcategories, such as 6103.29.10.10 for garments described in heading 6101 (outerwear), 6103.29.10.15 for jackets and blazers, and 6103.29.10.20 for trousers and breeches, allow for more granular classification based on the individual components of the ensemble. This detailed breakdown ensures accurate tariff application based on the specific nature of the apparel.
