6110.30.20.30 - Men's or boys' (659)

This HTS category encompasses knitted or crocheted vests designed for men or boys. These garments are characterized by their sleeveless design and are typically worn as an outer layer or for warmth. The classification specifically applies to vests that are not sweater vests, distinguishing them from knitwear primarily designed for upper body warmth resembling a sweater.

The critical distinguishing factor within this group is the target gender. While this subcategory covers vests for men and boys, its sibling category, 6110.30.20.40, is reserved for similar vests intended for women and girls. Therefore, accurate classification hinges on identifying the intended wearer and associated sizing and design characteristics.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is final based on the material composition (of man-made fibers, and containing 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste) and the specific garment type (vest, other than sweater vests) for men or boys. It is crucial to examine the garment's construction and material declaration to ensure correct classification.
