Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.13.59, designates specific temporary duty modifications for women's or girls' woven padded sleeveless jackets, also known as vests. These garments are exclusively constructed from wool and are characterized by a full opening. Crucially, they must be less than mid-thigh in length to fall under this provision. The parenthetical reference to subheading 6202.91.60 indicates that this temporary legislation applies to goods that would otherwise be classified within that particular HTS subheading, highlighting the temporary nature of the duty modification.
Given that this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subdivisions. The primary differentiator for this category, compared to other potential temporary provisions or standard tariff classifications, lies in the specific combination of material (wool), garment type (woven padded sleeveless jacket/vest), length (less than mid-thigh), and opening (full). This specificity ensures that only very particular items are subject to the temporary legislation, preventing misclassification and ensuring accurate application of duty rates.
