6110.90.10.40 - Women's or girls' (759)

This HTS classification, 6110.90.10.40, specifically covers knitted or crocheted vests for women or girls. These garments are distinct from other articles within Chapter 61 in that they are vests, not full sweaters or pullovers. The "other textile materials" designation and the subsequent "containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste" requirement are crucial for accurate classification. This means the primary material content of these knitted or crocheted vests must be silk or silk waste, meeting that specified weight threshold.

This category is differentiated from its sibling, 6110.90.10.30, by the intended wearer. While both fall under the broad category of knitted or crocheted vests of other textile materials containing significant silk content, 6110.90.10.40 is exclusively for women's or girls' garments. Therefore, the sex and age designation of the wearer is a primary differentiating factor for classification at this level.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification concludes at this point, meaning that any knitted or crocheted vest for women or girls, made primarily from silk or silk waste, will be classified under this specific code. The focus for importers and exporters is to confirm the material composition and confirm the garment is indeed a vest, not a sweater vest or other similar knitted article.
