6104.19.80.20 - Skirts and divided skirts imported as parts of suits (342)

This HTS classification, 6104.19.80.20, specifically designates skirts and divided skirts that are imported as integral components of knitted or crocheted suits. These items are distinguished from other parts of suits classified under heading 6104 by their nature as lower body garments. The "of other textile materials" qualifier indicates that the primary textile material of these suits is not specifically enumerated or restricted under other subheadings within the suits category, and the "Subject to cotton restraints" designation signifies adherence to specific import limitations related to cotton.

To clarify, this code differentiates skirts and divided skirts when they are part of a coordinated suit ensemble from other suit components. For instance, sibling categories cover jackets (6104.19.80.10), trousers, breeches, and shorts (6104.19.80.30), and waistcoats (6104.19.80.40) when imported as parts of suits. Therefore, the defining characteristic for this specific classification is the garment type – skirts or divided skirts – and their intended use as part of a complete suit.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6104.19.80.20 is final for skirts and divided skirts imported as parts of suits made from textiles other than those specifically detailed in preceding subheadings and subject to cotton restraints. Importers should ensure that the entire suit, including the skirt component, meets the material composition and restraint requirements to correctly apply this tariff code.
