Men's Wool-Blend Puffer Vest from Japan
This men's puffer vest is knitted from a man-made fiber base with at least 23% wool, providing insulation without sleeves. It qualifies under HTS 6110.30.15.30 as a vest (other than sweater vest) for men or boys, made of knitted man-made fibers containing wool or fine animal hair. The sleeveless design and lack of full upper-body coverage distinguish it from pullovers or sweaters.

Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥23% wool or fine animal hair, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Include detailed yarn composition and knitting specs in commercial invoice to avoid scrutiny under Chapter 61 notes
• Ensure garment lacks ribbed waistband or drawstring at bottom to prevent shift to other headings like 6105 exclusions
