6102.90.10.00 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (735) 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 6102.90.10.00, specifically covers knitted or crocheted overcoats, carcoats, capes, cloaks, anoraks (including ski-jackets), windbreakers, and similar articles for women or girls that are primarily composed of silk or silk waste. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is a silk content of 70 percent or more by weight. This ensures that the dominant material dictates its classification, distinguishing it from garments where silk is a component but not the primary fiber.

The direct sibling to this category is 6102.90.90, which encompasses all other knitted or crocheted outerwear for women or girls not meeting the specific material composition of this subcategory. Therefore, if a garment in heading 6102 has a silk content below 70% by weight, or is made from other textile materials entirely, it would fall under the "Other" category (6102.90.90). This distinction is crucial for accurate duty assessment and import/export compliance.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification of a garment under 6102.90.10.00 is final once the material composition criterion of 70% or more silk by weight is met for knitted or crocheted women's or girls' outerwear. This provides a definitive endpoint for classification within this specific branch of the tariff schedule.
