6114.90.05.20 - Men's or boys' (438)

This classification covers knitted or crocheted garments specifically designed for men or boys, made from textile materials other than cotton, synthetic fibers, or artificial fibers, and not of wool or fine animal hair, but rather other textile materials. The description "men's or boys'" indicates that the sizing, cut, and general styling of these garments are intended for the male demographic. Examples might include certain types of shirts, sweaters, vests, or other casual wear crafted from materials like linen, ramie, or jute blends, provided they meet the knitted or crocheted criteria.

Crucially, this category is distinguished from its sibling, 6114.90.05.40, which specifically encompasses women's or girls' garments made from similar "other textile materials" and also knitted or crocheted. The primary differentiating factor is the intended wearer's gender and age group, influencing the garment's design and fit. Unlike categories for specific materials like wool or fine animal hair, this node captures items made from a broader range of less common or mixed textile fibers.

As this HTS code is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of a garment under 6114.90.05.20 hinges entirely on its knitted or crocheted construction, its origin from "other textile materials," and its designation for men or boys. When classifying, customs officials will verify the fiber content to ensure it does not fall under wool, fine animal hair, or other more specifically defined textile categories within Chapter 61.
