6211.11.10 - Of man-made fibers

This HTS classification, 6211.11.10, specifically covers men's and boys' swimwear constructed from man-made fibers. This includes items such as swim trunks, swim briefs, and tankinis, designed for recreational water activities or athletic swimming, and fabricated using synthetic or artificial materials like polyester, nylon, or spandex. The key defining characteristic for this category is the material composition.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 6211.11.10 focuses solely on swimwear made of man-made fibers, the sibling category 6211.11.40.00 covers swimwear containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, which is a distinct natural fiber. The remaining sibling, 6211.11.80, functions as an "other" category, capturing swimwear made of materials not otherwise specified.

This category is further subdivided to distinguish between garments intended for men and those intended for boys. The subcategories 6211.11.10.10 (Men's) and 6211.11.10.20 (Boys') allow for a more granular classification based on typical sizing and design considerations specific to each demographic. This distinction is important for duty calculation and statistical reporting purposes.
