6110.19.00.50 - Men's or boys' (459)

This HTS classification, 6110.19.00.50, specifically covers knitted or crocheted vests designed for men or boys. These garments are characterized by their sleeveless nature and are typically worn as an outer layer over other clothing, or as an intermediary layer for warmth. The term "vests" in this context excludes items that are primarily designed to function as sweater vests, which are more akin to sweaters in their construction and intended wear.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6110.19.00.60, is the intended wearer. While both are knitted or crocheted vests made of wool or fine animal hair, this specific code is exclusively for items designated for males, whereas the sibling code pertains to females. This gender-based distinction is a critical factor in correctly classifying these apparel items.

As this node represents a leaf in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 6110.19.00.50 relies on confirming the item is a knitted or crocheted vest, made from wool or fine animal hair, and intended for men or boys. Examples would include knitted sleeveless jackets, tank tops with a tailored vest appearance, or other similar garments falling within these parameters and not fitting the definition of a sweater vest.
