6104.29.10.20 - Skirts and divided skirts (642)

This HTS category, 6104.29.10.20, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted skirts and divided skirts that are part of ensembles composed of artificial fibers. These garments are designed for women or girls and are typically intended to be worn as part of a coordinated set, distinguishing them from standalone skirts. The crucial element for classification here is the material composition being artificial fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or rayon, knitted or crocheted.

It is important to differentiate this category from its siblings. While other subheadings within 6104.29.10.20 cover various other garments like jackets, trousers, shorts, blouses, and sweaters, this specific code is exclusively for skirts and divided skirts within ensembles. For instance, 6104.29.10.10 includes other components of ensembles such as jackets and blazers, and 6104.29.10.30 and 6104.29.10.40 are for trousers and shorts respectively. The operative phrase for this node is "skirts and divided skirts," and the "ensemble" context is key.

As this node represents a leaf category, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification relies heavily on confirming that the imported item is indeed a skirt or divided skirt, knitted or crocheted, made from artificial fibers, and is intended to be part of a coordinated ensemble as defined under the broader headings. For practical classification, one would look to the specific cut, style, and design features of the skirt to ensure it meets the definition and distinguishes it from other bottom wear.
