6110.20.20.67 - Knit to shape articles described in statistical note 6 to this chapter (338)

This HTS classification, 6110.20.20.67, specifically covers knitted or crocheted articles of apparel that are "knit to shape" and fall under the scope of statistical note 6 for Chapter 61. These items are primarily men's or boys' garments, similar in construction and function to sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, and waistcoats, but distinguished by their manufacturing method. "Knit to shape" implies that the garment panels are created directly in their final form through knitting, eliminating the need for cutting and sewing of separate pieces, thus reducing waste and often resulting in a more seamless construction.

At this specific level, the distinction from its sibling category 6110.20.20.69 lies in the precise adherence to the criteria outlined in statistical note 6. While both classifications deal with "other" knitted or crocheted articles of cotton for men or boys, classification 6110.20.20.67 is reserved for those explicitly meeting the "knit to shape" definition within the relevant statistical note. This ensures a granular categorization based on the manufacturing process, which can have implications for trade statistics and potentially for trade agreements.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 6110.20.20.67. Therefore, the focus for classification within this code rests entirely on accurately identifying garments that are of cotton, intended for men or boys, and are manufactured using the "knit to shape" method as defined by statistical note 6. Examples would include seamless knit sweaters or pullovers where the body and sleeves are knitted as single units without subsequent cutting and sewing of the main garment sections.
