6114.30.20 - Bodysuits and bodyshirts

This category encompasses knitted or crocheted bodysuits and bodyshirts specifically manufactured from man-made fibers. These garments are designed to cover the torso and typically extend to the crotch, often featuring snaps or fasteners for ease of wear. They are distinguished from other garments in heading 6114.30 by their specific cut and function, differing from the more general "Tops" (6114.30.10) or the broader "Other" (6114.30.30) classifications.

The distinction from "Tops" (6114.30.10) lies in the fundamental design; tops, as classified under the sibling category, are generally designed to be worn independently and do not typically extend below the waistline or incorporate crotch fasteners. Bodysuits and bodyshirts, conversely, are characterized by their one-piece construction and their integration with lower body garments or as a base layer. The "Other" (6114.30.30) classification serves as a residual category for any man-made fiber knitted or crocheted garments not specifically described elsewhere.

Within this classification, further detail is provided by subcategories based on material composition. Subcategory 6114.30.20.10 specifically addresses bodysuits and bodyshirts made from fabrics containing by weight 5 percent or more of elastomeric yarn or rubber thread, acknowledging the functional characteristics imparted by such materials, such as enhanced stretch and recovery. The remaining "Other" subcategory captures those garments not meeting this specific elastomeric content threshold.
