6110.30.20.20 - Women's or girls' (646)

This HTS classification covers knitted or crocheted sweaters specifically designed for women or girls. These garments are characterized by their knitted or crocheted construction, falling under the broader category of sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats, and similar articles. The defining material for this subcategory is that the item contains 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, placing it within the "Of man-made fibers" and "Other" divisions.

It is crucial to distinguish this classification from its sibling, HTS code 6110.30.20.10, which covers men's or boys' sweaters made from similar materials. The primary differentiator is the intended wearer, with 6110.30.20.20 exclusively for female apparel, while the sibling is for male apparel. Both share the commonality of being knitted or crocheted sweaters composed of man-made fibers, with the additional silk content criterion.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for women's or girls' knitted or crocheted sweaters that meet the material composition requirement of containing 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Importers and exporters should ensure accurate weight determination of the silk content to correctly apply this classification.
