6104.49.90 - Other

This category, HTS 6104.49.90, encompasses women's or girls' dresses that are knitted or crocheted and are not made primarily from silk or silk waste. These dresses fall under the broader classification of women's or girls' dresses made of "other textile materials," meaning they are not specifically enumerated in categories defined by a dominant percentage of certain fibers. The classification focuses on dresses made from a variety of knitted or crocheted fabrics that do not meet the specific material composition requirements of other subheadings within the 6104.49 grouping.

Distinguished from its sibling category, 6104.49.10.00, which specifically covers dresses containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, this category applies to all other dresses made from knitted or crocheted materials not primarily composed of silk. Therefore, if a dress is made from a blend of man-made fibers, cotton, or other textiles (excluding silk as the predominant fiber), and is knitted or crocheted, it would likely be classified here. The key differentiator is the material composition, particularly the absence of silk as the primary constituent.

The subcategories within 6104.49.90.90 exist to further refine the classification based on specific trade or quota restrictions. These subdivisions, such as those subject to cotton, wool, or man-made fiber restraints, are crucial for customs purposes to monitor and manage the import and export of these goods according to international trade agreements. The "Other" subheading (6104.49.90.60) serves as a residual category for dresses that do not fall under any of the specific restraint categories.
