6103.49.40.20 - Bib and brace overalls (759) 🖩

This HTS category specifically covers bib and brace overalls that are knitted or crocheted and are made from "other textile materials." The defining characteristic of this subcategory is that these overalls must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This classification is crucial for accurately determining import duties and trade statistics related to high-quality silk garments designed as functional workwear or casual attire.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6103.49.40.10, is straightforward: this node is exclusively for bib and brace overalls, while the sibling encompasses trousers, breeches, and shorts. Both share the "other textile materials" context, but the material composition (specifically, the high silk content) is the differentiating factor within this particular branch of the tariff schedule.

As a leaf node, 6103.49.40.20 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code is definitive. Importers and exporters should ensure that the physical garment meets the description of bib and brace overalls and that the material composition, verified by weight, consists of at least 70% silk or silk waste. Any garment that does not meet these specific material criteria, even if it is a bib and brace overall, would fall into a different subcategory.
