6110.12.20.50 - Men's or boys' (459)

This HTS code, 6110.12.20.50, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted vests, excluding sweater vests, that are made from wool or fine animal hair, and are of Kashmir (cashmere) goat origin, designated for men or boys. This category encompasses sleeveless garments designed for warmth or as a layering piece, typically worn over other clothing. The defining characteristics are the material composition (pure cashmere or blends meeting the "fine animal hair" criteria for cashmere) and the intended wearer demographic.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6110.12.20.60, is solely based on the gender for which the garment is intended. While both fall under knitted or crocheted vests of cashmere for men/boys and women/girls respectively, the specific product at 6110.12.20.50 is exclusively for males. The "Other" designation within the cashmere subcategory indicates that these vests are not specifically defined by any further material or construction nuance beyond being a vest of cashmere for men or boys.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this code is definitive for knitted or crocheted vests of cashmere goats intended for men or boys. Importers and exporters should ensure that the material composition strictly adheres to cashmere or fine animal hair classifications and that the garment's design and sizing are clearly for the male demographic to ensure correct customs declaration.
