6110.30.15.30 - Men's or boys' (459)

This HTS classification, 6110.30.15.30, specifically covers knitted or crocheted vests that are designed for men or boys. These garments are distinguished from other similar articles within Chapter 61 by their specific construction as vests, rather than full sweaters or pullovers. The material composition is a key differentiator; these vests must contain 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, and be made of man-made fibers as indicated by the parent category.

The primary distinction from its sibling category, 6110.30.15.40, lies in the intended wearer. This category is exclusively for men's and boys' vests, whereas the sibling category covers vests for women and girls. Therefore, when classifying such garments, the gender and age designation of the intended wearer is a critical factor.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. The classification is finalized at this level based on the article type (vest), gender/age (men's or boys'), material content (man-made fibers with 23%+ wool or fine animal hair), and construction (knitted or crocheted).
