6104.59.10 - Of artificial fibers

This HTS category, 6104.59.10, specifically classifies skirts and divided skirts that are knitted or crocheted, and are not made predominantly of silk or silk waste, nor are they composed of 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. The core defining characteristic is that these garments are made of "other textile materials" not otherwise specified within this immediate hierarchical level. This encompasses a broad range of knitted or crocheted skirts where the constituent fibers fall outside the specific exclusions and inclusions detailed in its sibling and subcategory nodes.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. The sibling category 6104.59.40.00 is exclusively for skirts containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Another sibling, 6104.59.80, is a residual category for skirts not falling into any other specified material composition. Therefore, 6104.59.10 serves as a distinct classification for skirts made from knitted or crocheted materials that are not silk-dominant or specifically identified as wool or fine animal hair.

This category further branches into subcategories to refine classification based on specific material content. The subcategory 6104.59.10.05 addresses skirts containing 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, implying a precise quantitative threshold for these materials. The subsequent "Other" subcategory will then capture all remaining skirts within the scope of 6104.59 that do not meet the criteria for the silk or wool-dominant subdivisions, ensuring comprehensive coverage of knitted or crocheted skirts.
