6110.30 - Of man-made fibers:
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category, 6110.30, encompasses knitted or crocheted articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are primarily made from man-made fibers. This includes a wide range of garments such as sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests), and other similar items, provided their constituent fabric is composed of synthetic or artificial fibers like polyester, nylon, acrylic, or rayon.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While all fall under the broad heading of "Sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar articles, knitted or crocheted," 6110.30 specifically addresses garments made of man-made fibers. This contrasts with 6110.11 and 6110.12 which cover articles of wool or fine animal hair, 6110.20 which is for cotton, and 6110.90 which is for other textile materials such as silk, linen, or vegetable fibers not elsewhere specified.
The subdivisions within 6110.30 further refine the classification. The primary subcategory, 6110.30.10, specifically addresses articles containing 25 percent or more by weight of leather, indicating a blended material where leather is a significant component alongside man-made fibers. The subsequent "Other" subcategory will encompass all remaining knitted or crocheted apparel of man-made fibers not meeting the specific leather content threshold.
