6211.33.90.52 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (459) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6211.33.90.52, specifically covers vests for men or boys that are manufactured from man-made fibers and contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. The term "vests" in this context refers to sleeveless outer garments typically worn over other clothing, such as tailored vests or casual vests, that are not part of a suit or set. The crucial determining factor for this classification is the high wool or fine animal hair content, which dictates its placement within the broader category of man-made fiber garments.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6211.33.90.54, hinges on the material composition. While both fall under "Other garments, men's or boys', of man-made fibers: Other", category .54 would likely encompass vests with a lower percentage of wool or fine animal hair, or those predominantly composed of other man-made fibers without meeting the 36% wool threshold. Therefore, the specific weight percentage of wool or fine animal hair is the critical differentiator.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories under 6211.33.90.52. This means that any men's or boys' vest made from man-made fibers and meeting the 36% or more wool or fine animal hair content requirement will be classified directly under this code. Classification at this level requires careful examination of the garment's fiber content to ensure accurate declaration and duty assessment.
