The armholes and the bottom of the garments are finished with fabric capping. The front panels have inner pockets in the chest areas and are partially lined with 100% polyester, woven fabric.

You suggest that the vests should be classified in heading 6114 HTS. The submitted garments are constructed from knit fabric and are precluded from heading 6114. The garments are specifically provided for in heading 6110.
