6106.90.15.00 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (739) 🖩

This HTS category encompasses knitted or crocheted blouses and shirts for women or girls that are primarily composed of silk or silk waste. Specifically, to fall under this classification, the garment must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This designation applies to a wide range of tops, including traditional shirts, blouses, tunics, and similar apparel, provided they meet the material composition requirement and are manufactured using knitting or crocheting techniques.

The defining characteristic distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6106.90.25, is the specific material composition. While 6106.90.25 covers blouses and shirts of "other textile materials," this classification is narrowly focused on those predominantly made from silk or its waste. Therefore, garments made from synthetic fibers, cotton, wool, or blends not meeting the 70% silk threshold would be classified under the sibling category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 6106.90.15.00 is final based on meeting the material and construction criteria outlined. Importers and exporters should carefully review the material composition of their silk blouses and shirts to ensure accurate classification and compliance with customs regulations.
