6211.49.60.30 - Blouses, shirts and shirt-blouses, sleeveless tank styles and similar upper body garments, excluded from heading 6206 (440) 🖩

HTS Code 6211.49.60.30 specifically classifies women's or girls' sleeveless tank-style upper body garments, and similar garments, that are not knitted or crocheted and are not elsewhere specified within heading 6206. This category encompasses items such as tank tops, camisoles, and other sleeveless shirts designed for women and girls, often worn as standalone tops or as undergarments. The key characteristic for classification here is the absence of sleeves, alongside the exclusion from more specific shirt categories.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While sibling categories like jumpers (6211.49.60.40), vests (6211.49.60.50), and jackets (6211.49.60.55) also fall under "Other garments, women's or girls', of other textile materials," they are defined by distinct design features. Jumpers typically involve a full garment with a skirt or trousers attached, vests are generally designed to be worn over other garments, and jackets are characterized by sleeves and a more structured design. This specific code, 6211.49.60.30, isolates those garments that are primarily upper body coverings and lack sleeves.

As this classification represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for importers and exporters lies in correctly identifying garments that meet the criteria of being sleeveless upper body wear for women or girls, made from textile materials other than those specified in more exclusive headings, and not fitting the descriptions of the other sibling categories. This requires careful consideration of the garment's construction, intended use, and material composition to ensure compliance with customs regulations.
