6110.90.90.54 - Women's or girls' (659)

This HTS classification, 6110.90.90.54, specifically covers knitted or crocheted vests for women or girls. These garments are distinct from sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, and similar articles, focusing solely on vest styles. The term "vest" in this context refers to sleeveless upper-body garments, excluding sweater vests which are typically designed as an outer layer akin to a sweater.

The differentiating factor from its sibling category, 6110.90.90.52 (Men's or boys' vests), lies in the intended wearer. This classification is exclusively for women or girls, while the sibling is for men or boys. Both are under the broader umbrella of "Of other textile materials: Other" within the knitted or crocheted vests category, indicating that the primary textile material used is not cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or synthetic/artificial fibers as specified in other subheadings, but rather other textile materials not otherwise specified.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6110.90.90.54 is therefore dependent on meeting the criteria of being a knitted or crocheted vest for women or girls, made from "other textile materials," and is subject to specific man-made fiber restraints as indicated by the preceding "Subject to man-made fiber restraints" context. It is crucial for importers and exporters to verify that the specific textile composition of the vests falls within the scope of "other textile materials" and complies with any applicable restraints.
