6104.23.00 - Of synthetic fibers

HTS code 6104.23.00 classifies knitted or crocheted ensembles designed for women or girls that are specifically manufactured from synthetic fibers. These ensembles are complete outfits, typically consisting of two or more coordinated garments intended to be worn together as a set. The defining characteristic of this category is the material composition, requiring that the ensemble be predominantly made of synthetic textile materials.

This classification distinguishes itself from sibling categories primarily based on its material content. For instance, HTS code 6104.22.00 covers similar ensembles made from cotton. Ensembles classified under "Of other textile materials" (6104.29) would encompass those not primarily made of cotton or synthetic fibers, but rather from materials like silk, wool, or man-made fibers other than those considered "synthetic." Therefore, the precise identification of the primary fiber content is crucial for correct classification.

The subcategories under this code further refine the classification based on additional material criteria. One branch addresses ensembles containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, indicating a blended composition where synthetic fibers are still present but wool or fine animal hair is a significant component. The "Other" subcategory would encompass ensembles where the synthetic fiber composition meets the primary criteria, but the specific wool or fine animal hair threshold is not met, or other textile materials are present in minor quantities.
