6110.20.10 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of flax fibers

This classification encompasses sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests), and similar articles of apparel that are knitted or crocheted. Specifically, it applies to those articles containing 36 percent or more by weight of flax fibers. This material composition is the primary determinant for inclusion in this category, ensuring that garments predominantly made from flax are correctly identified.

This category is distinct from its sibling category, 6110.20.20, which covers "Other" knitted or crocheted sweaters, pullovers, and similar articles. While this entry specifically targets flax-based garments, the "Other" category is a residual classification for items not meeting the specific material criteria outlined here, or for other similar knitted or crocheted apparel not otherwise specified.

Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification of these flax-based articles. These subcategories differentiate based on the specific type of garment, such as "Sweaters," "Vests other than sweater vests," and a general "Other" category for any remaining qualifying flax-based items. This tiered approach allows for precise identification of distinct apparel types within the broader scope of flax-content knitted and crocheted wear.
