Overview
This HTS category, 6110.12, specifically encompasses knitted or crocheted sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests), and similar articles that are made from the fine animal hair of Kashmir (cashmere) goats. This classification is a subset of the broader category for "Of wool or fine animal hair," ensuring that garments derived exclusively from this particular luxury fiber are distinctly identified.
Distinguishing 6110.12 from its siblings, 6110.11.00 (Of wool) and 6110.19.00 (Other), is crucial for accurate tariff assessment. While 6110.11.00 covers garments made from sheep's wool, 6110.12.00 focuses solely on articles composed of cashmere goat hair. The "Other" category, 6110.19.00, would apply to fine animal hair that is not wool or cashmere.
Within 6110.12, further subcategories exist to refine classification based on material composition. 6110.12.10 applies to garments that are wholly of cashmere, meaning the entire textile content is derived from cashmere goat hair. Conversely, 6110.12.20 covers garments that contain cashmere but are blended with other textile materials. This subdivision allows for the recognition of pure cashmere items and those that incorporate cashmere with other fibers.
