6110.30.20.53 - Other (638)

This HTS classification, 6110.30.20.53, encompasses a broad range of knitted or crocheted apparel falling under the "Other" category within men's and boys' garments of man-made fibers. Specifically, it covers sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests), and similar articles that are not specifically delineated in preceding subheadings. The key distinguishing feature of this category is its residual nature; it acts as a catch-all for items that do not fit into more precise descriptions within Chapter 61.

This subheading differentiates itself from sibling category 6110.30.20.51 by the method of construction. While 6110.30.20.51 is reserved for "Knit to shape articles described in statistical note 6 to this chapter," 6110.30.20.53 includes garments that are not necessarily knit to shape according to that specific statistical note, or where the predominant construction method or specific design elements do not align with the knit-to-shape criteria. Therefore, the classification hinges on whether the garment meets the specific knit-to-shape definition, with this subheading applying to all other knitted or crocheted similar articles made from man-made fibers for men or boys.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is finalized at this level, meaning that any garment meeting the general criteria of knitted or crocheted apparel of man-made fibers, intended for men or boys, and not specifically classified elsewhere under subheading 6110.30, will fall under this residual "Other" classification. Practical application would involve careful examination of the garment's construction, material composition, and intended use to ensure it does not qualify for a more specific subheading.
