6211.49.50.70 - Vests (759) 🖩

This HTS category, 6211.49.50.70, specifically classifies vests for women and girls, made from textile materials other than those primarily composed of man-made fibers or cotton. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is that these garments must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This material composition is the primary criterion for differentiating these items from other similar garments.

Within the broader heading for "Other garments, women's or girls'," this specific subcategory is distinct due to its material content. Siblings at this level, such as track suits or blouses, may share the same broader textile material classification but will differ in either their construction (e.g., track suits) or their specific garment type and material composition. For example, while other "Other" garments exist, they may not meet the stringent 70% silk or silk waste requirement, or they might be explicitly excluded by their design or intended use as specified in other subcategories.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 6211.49.50.70 relies solely on identifying a sleeveless outer garment for women or girls that primarily consists of silk or silk waste, and is not otherwise specifically classified elsewhere within Chapter 62. Examples include lightweight silk vests intended for layering or as standalone fashion items, provided they meet the stated material threshold.
