Men's Cotton-Flax Waistcoat Vest from Japan
A knitted men's waistcoat vest made from cotton fabric containing 36% or more flax fibers by weight, designed as a formal undergarment without sleeves. It falls under HTS 6110.20.10.22 as a vest other than a sweater vest for men or boys, meeting the chapter's criteria for knitted articles with specified fiber content. The high flax proportion provides a linen-like texture suitable for business attire.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm at least 36% flax by weight, as required for this subheading; retain certificates for CBP review
• Ensure labeling complies with FTC textile rules, disclosing cotton/flax blend percentages and country of origin
• Avoid classifying as sweater vests if featuring heavy knitting or insulation, which shifts to other 6110 subheadings
