6211.43.05.74 - Containing 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair (459)

This HTS classification covers women's or girls' vests that are not knitted or crocheted, specifically those made of man-made fibers and designed as recreational performance outerwear. The key distinguishing characteristic for classification within this subcategory is the material composition: these garments must contain 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. This specific material threshold is critical for accurate tariff assessment and supersedes broader classifications based solely on being man-made fiber outerwear.

Within the context of "Other garments, women's or girls': Of man-made fibers: Recreational performance outerwear: Vests:", this subcategory differentiates itself from its sibling, 6211.43.05.76 "Other," by its defined material content. While the sibling likely covers vests made of man-made fibers that do not meet the specified wool or fine animal hair percentage, this classification is exclusively for those meeting the 36% or greater wool/fine animal hair threshold. Therefore, the presence and proportion of wool or fine animal hair are the primary drivers for selecting this specific code over the more general "Other" classification at this level.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions for this HTS code will rely on confirming the garment's nature as women's or girls' recreational performance outerwear vest, its construction from man-made fibers, and critically, the verification of its composition meeting or exceeding 36 percent by weight of wool or fine animal hair.
