6211.11.80 - Other

This HTS category, 6211.11.80, specifically designates "Other" men's or boys' swimwear. It encompasses swimwear not otherwise specified within the men's or boys' swimwear subgroup that falls under the broader category of tracksuits, ski-suits, and swimwear. The primary defining characteristic is its classification as swimwear for males, fitting the general requirements of this garment type but not conforming to the material specifications of its sibling categories.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS code 6211.11.10 covers men's or boys' swimwear exclusively made of man-made fibers. Similarly, 6211.11.40.00 is reserved for swimwear predominantly composed of silk or silk waste. Therefore, 6211.11.80 serves as a residual classification for swimwear for men and boys that does not meet the specific fiber content requirements of these other categories, such as swimwear made from cotton or other natural fibers not otherwise classified.

The existence of subcategories under 6211.11.80 indicates further breakdowns based on material composition. The presence of a subcategory such as "Of cotton" signifies that within this "Other" classification, specific allowances are made for swimwear primarily composed of cotton. This demonstrates the HTS system's granular approach, ensuring that even residual categories can be refined based on the fundamental material constituents of the goods.
