6110.30.30 - Other
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category, 6110.30.30, encompasses knitted or crocheted garments that are similar to sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, and waistcoats, but do not fall into more specific subheadings within the "of man-made fibers" group. This designation is for residual items within the "other" classification of knitted or crocheted apparel made from man-made fibers when other more precise classifications do not apply.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6110.30.20, is crucial. The sibling category specifically covers articles containing 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Therefore, 6110.30.30 applies to man-made fiber garments that either contain no silk, or contain silk in a proportion less than 30 percent by weight. The focus here remains on the predominant man-made fiber content and the absence of specific materials or constructions that would merit classification elsewhere.
Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategory 6110.30.30.05, for example, identifies boys' and girls' garments imported as parts of playsuits. The remaining, un-itemized subcategory represents the ultimate residual classification for any man-made fiber knitted or crocheted garments that do not fit into any of the more specifically defined headings or subheadings under chapter 61.
