Women's Cotton-Flax Waistcoat Vest from China

A sleeveless women's vest made from knitted cotton fabric containing over 36% flax fibers, designed as a formal waistcoat alternative without sweater-like features. It falls under HTS 6110.20.10.24 due to its cotton-flax composition, women's sizing, and classification as a non-sweater vest in Chapter 61 for made-up knitted articles. The high flax content provides a linen-like texture while meeting the specific fiber threshold.

Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% flax, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties

Ensure labeling complies with FTC rules for fiber composition and country of origin on knitted garments

Avoid common pitfalls like importing with pockets below waist, which may shift to heading 6106
