6110.30.10 - Containing 25 percent or more by weight of leather

This HTS subheading, 6110.30.10, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted articles of apparel that are predominantly composed of leather, containing 25 percent or more by weight of leather. This includes garments such as sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests), and similar items when their primary material content is leather, despite being constructed using knitted or crocheted textile techniques. The emphasis here is on the significant leather content as the defining characteristic for classification within this specific code.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, "Other," which would encompass knitted or crocheted articles of man-made fibers that do not meet the 25 percent leather content threshold. Therefore, if an article is primarily made of man-made fibers with only minor leather accents or trimmings, it would not fall under this heading but rather under the "Other" sibling. The defining factor for this code is the overwhelming presence of leather by weight in the finished garment.

This subheading serves as a specific classification for these unique textile-garments. It acts as a direct classification for articles primarily made of leather but produced through knitted or crocheted methods. While the description already specifies the key criterion (25% or more by weight of leather), this context helps in understanding its placement within the broader categories of knitted or crocheted apparel and its differentiation from garments made predominantly of other materials.
