Overview
This HTS category, 6211.49.80.70, specifically classifies "Vests" for women and girls, crafted from textile materials other than those explicitly defined in preceding subheadings. These garments are characterized by their sleeveless design and are intended for the upper body. Their construction and function differentiate them from more complex one-piece garments or specifically styled upper body wear.
Distinguishing vests from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike coveralls, jumpsuits, or washsuits (6211.49.80.10 and 6211.49.80.20), vests are not complete outfits or multi-piece garments designed for full body coverage. Furthermore, while blouses and shirt-blouses fall under a related subheading (6211.49.80.50), vests are generally simpler in construction and lack features like collars, cuffs, or buttons typically found on such items. Jumpers (6211.49.80.60) are also distinct, typically referring to sleeveless dresses or pinafores.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this specific code. Therefore, classification under 6211.49.80.70 relies on the definitive characteristics of the garment being a sleeveless vest for women or girls, made from textile materials not otherwise specified, and not fitting the descriptions of the other "Other garments" within this tariff chapter. Practical examples include simple tank-style tops or basic sleeveless shells intended for layering or casual wear.
