6211.49.03.50 - Blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses, sleeveless tank styles and similar upper body garments, excluded from heading 6206 🖩

This HTS classification, 6211.49.03.50, specifically covers women's or girls' sleeveless tank-style tops and similar upper body garments that are not knitted or crocheted and are made from textile materials other than those specified in preceding subcategories. The key distinguishing feature of this category is its focus on garments primarily designed for upper body coverage, often intended for casual wear or as layering pieces. These items must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste to fall within this specific sub-classification.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. For instance, while sibling categories might cover full tracksuits, jumpsuits, washsuits, or vests, this classification is exclusively for more specific upper body garments akin to blouses, shirts, or distinctly sleeveless tank styles. The "similar upper body garments" clause is intended to capture items that, while not explicitly named as blouses or shirts, serve a comparable function and are made of the requisite silk content.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 6211.49.03.50 hinges directly on the garment's design as an upper body garment, its sleeveless or tank-style nature, its exclusion from heading 6206, and the material composition requirement of at least 70 percent silk or silk waste by weight. Examples would include silk tank tops, sleeveless silk blouses intended for casual wear, or similar simple upper body garments made primarily of silk.
