6109.10.00.18 - Men's (338)

This HTS classification, 6109.10.00.18, specifically covers men's tank tops and other singlets that are knitted or crocheted and made from cotton. These garments are characterized by their sleeveless design and often a simple, close-fitting cut, intended for casual wear or athletic activities. The "men's" designation within this category is crucial, distinguishing them from garments intended for other demographic groups.

The primary distinction of this subcategory lies in its target demographic. While its sibling category, 6109.10.00.23, also falls under men's or boys' tank tops and singlets of cotton, this particular heading is exclusively for adult men's wear. Therefore, classification hinges on the intended wearer and the sizing and design characteristics that differentiate adult male apparel from that of young boys.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is definitive, meaning that once a garment meets all the preceding criteria (knitted or crocheted, cotton, tank top/singlet, and for men), it falls squarely within this HTS code. Practical classification will therefore focus on confirming the material composition and the specific garment style as a tank top or singlet for men.
