6104.22.00.30 - Skirts and divided skirts (342)

This HTS category, 6104.22.00.30, specifically classifies skirts and divided skirts that are knitted or crocheted and are made of cotton. These garments fall under the broader heading of women's or girls' ensembles and separates, ensuring they are distinguished from other apparel items within the same broad classification. The "divided skirt" designation is important for items that resemble a skirt but are constructed with separate leg sections, providing the appearance of a skirt while offering the functionality of trousers.

When classifying items within heading 6104, it is crucial to differentiate this specific category from its siblings. For instance, other categories within 6104.22.00 cover items such as jackets and blazers (6104.22.00.10), trousers and breeches (6104.22.00.40), shorts (6104.22.00.50), blouses, shirts, and tops (6104.22.00.60), and sweaters (6104.22.00.80). Therefore, the defining characteristic of 6104.22.00.30 is its exclusive focus on skirts and divided skirts made from cotton knit or crochet fabric.

As a leaf node, this HTS code does not have further subdivisions. Consequently, classification within this category relies entirely on the precise definition of skirts and divided skirts made of cotton, knitted or crocheted. Importers and exporters must ensure that the physical characteristics and intended use of the garment align with the established understanding of these apparel types to ensure accurate customs declarations.
