6104.49.90.20 - Subject to wool restraints (436)

This HTS classification, 6104.49.90.20, specifically pertains to knitted or crocheted women's or girls' dresses that are made from textile materials other than cotton or man-made fibers, and are not covered by specific restraints for other materials. These dresses fall under the broader category of women's apparel, knitted or crocheted, and are distinguished by their material composition and the absence of specific quota or restraint limitations applicable to other fiber types.

The key differentiator for this category lies in its "other textile materials" designation, excluding cotton and man-made fibers. This implies that the dresses classified here are primarily constructed from natural fibers not already specified (such as silk, wool, or other animal hair), or blends where wool or other specified fibers are not the predominant component according to the applicable tariff rules. It is crucial for importers to accurately ascertain the fiber content of the garment to ensure correct classification.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code hinges on the absence of wool restraints, differentiating it from 6104.49.90.10 (cotton restraints), 6104.49.90.30 (man-made fiber restraints), and 6104.49.90.60 (other, which would likely encompass dresses not subject to any specific fiber-based restraints or those made from materials not falling into the other specified categories). Therefore, a dress classified under 6104.49.90.20 is made of non-cotton, non-man-made fibers, and is not subject to wool restraints.
