6110.11.00.50 - Men's or boys' (459)

This HTS category, 6110.11.00.50, specifically covers knitted or crocheted vests for men or boys that are made from wool. This designation excludes items that might resemble vests but are designed as parts of other garments or are primarily functional safety wear. The key classification criteria here are the garment's construction (knitted or crocheted), its form (a vest), its intended wearer (men or boys), and crucially, its material composition (wool).

The primary distinction for this subcategory lies in its target demographic and specific garment type compared to its sibling, 6110.11.00.60, which covers similar knitted or crocheted wool vests but for women or girls. The "Men's or boys'" designation is a definitive criterion for classifying goods under this code, ensuring a clear separation based on gender and age appropriate sizing and styling.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 6110.11.00.50 is final for qualifying men's or boys' wool vests. Importers should carefully verify that the garment is indeed a vest (sleeveless, typically opening at the front or closing with buttons/zippers, and intended as an outer garment or layer) and that the primary fiber content is wool to ensure accurate customs declarations.
