6211.39.15.60 - Vests (859)

This HTS category, 6211.39.15.60, specifically classifies vests for men and boys when they are not knitted or crocheted and are made from textile materials other than those specifically covered by other subheadings. These vests fall under the broader classification of "other garments" within the tracksuits, ski-suits, and swimwear section. The key distinguishing feature is the garment type itself – a vest – which is designed to cover the upper body without sleeves.

Unlike sibling categories such as coveralls (6211.39.15.10), washsuits (6211.39.15.20), shirts (6211.39.15.50), or jackets (6211.39.15.70), this classification is exclusively for vests. The defining characteristic of a vest is its sleeveless nature, typically worn as an outer layer or for specific functional purposes such as recreational activities or as part of a suit. Therefore, garments that have sleeves, or are full-body garments like jumpsuits, or are specifically defined as shirts or jackets, would not fall under this particular subheading.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6211.39.15.60 is therefore dependent on fulfilling all preceding classification criteria, including being an "other garment" made of specified textile materials, for men or boys, and specifically being a vest. The application of this subheading relies on the precise definition of a vest and its exclusion from other more specific garment categories.
