6104.22.00 - Of cotton

This HTS classification, 6104.22.00, specifically addresses knitted or crocheted women's or girls' ensembles made of cotton. An ensemble, within the context of this chapter, typically refers to a set of garments designed to be worn together. This category focuses on the material composition, requiring that all components of the ensemble be primarily of cotton.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 6104.23.00 covers similar ensembles when they are constructed from synthetic fibers. The sibling category 6104.29 encompasses ensembles made from "other textile materials," which would include natural fibers other than cotton (such as wool or silk) or man-made fibers not classified as synthetic. Therefore, the defining characteristic for 6104.22.00 is the exclusive use of cotton in the construction of the knitted or crocheted ensemble.

The subcategories within 6104.22.00 provide a further breakdown based on the specific types of garments that constitute the ensemble. These subdivisions differentiate between sets including jackets and blazers (6104.22.00.10), skirts and divided skirts (6104.22.00.30), trousers and breeches (6104.22.00.40), shorts (6104.22.00.50), blouses, shirts, and tops (6104.22.00.60), sweaters (6104.22.00.80), and other combinations not specifically listed (6104.22.00.90). This granular classification is essential for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.
