6110.90.90.50 - Women's or girls' (459) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6110.90.90.50, specifically pertains to women's or girls' vests, other than sweater vests, which are knitted or crocheted from textile materials other than wool, cotton, or man-made fibers. The "other textile materials" designation encompasses a broad range of natural and synthetic fibers not explicitly listed in preceding subheadings, such as silk, linen, ramie, or blends thereof, provided they meet the criteria for knitted or crocheted articles of apparel.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 6110.90.90.48, by the gender designation; this subheading exclusively covers garments intended for women or girls, while the sibling covers men's or boys' apparel. Both fall under the broader category of "Other," within "Of other textile materials," for knitted or crocheted vests. The key differentiator here, aside from the intended wearer, is the exclusion of sweater vests, which are typically designed as outerwear with a more substantial knit, and the restriction of these garments to being subject to wool restraints, though the primary material is not wool itself.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level relies on a thorough understanding of the preceding headings to ensure the correct identification of the article as a knitted or crocheted vest for women or girls, made from materials not specified elsewhere, and falling under the scope of specific trade restraints. Classification hinges on the garment's construction, material composition, intended use as a vest (distinct from a sweater vest), and the gender for which it is designed.
