Overview
HTS Code 6110 encompasses a broad range of knitted or crocheted garments that are primarily worn as outer layers or for warmth. This category specifically includes sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests), and other similar articles designed for upper body wear. The defining characteristic is the method of construction: these items must be manufactured through knitting or crocheting processes, as opposed to weaving or other fabric constructions.
Unlike sibling categories at the Chapter 61 level which cover different types of knitted or crocheted apparel, HTS 6110 focuses on the specific types of garments mentioned. For instance, it would not include knitted shirts (which might fall under 6105) or knitted coats and jackets (which would likely be classified under 6101 or 6102). The essential distinction lies in the garment's design, function, and typical styling as a sweater, pullover, sweatshirt, or vest.
Within HTS 6110, further classification is based on the primary textile material used in the garment's construction. The subcategories – "Of wool or fine animal hair," "Of cotton," "Of man-made fibers," and "Of other textile materials" – allow for precise tariff differentiation based on the fiber content. This differentiation is crucial for applying specific duty rates and trade regulations associated with different textile types.
