6108.11.00 - Of man-made fibers

This HTS category, 6108.11.00, specifically classifies women's or girls' slips and petticoats that are knitted or crocheted and are made from man-made fibers. These garments are designed to be worn as undergarments to provide a smooth silhouette, modesty, or warmth beneath outer clothing. The defining characteristic is the material composition; therefore, items made from natural fibers such as cotton or silk, even if they are slips or petticoats, would be classified elsewhere.

The direct sibling category, "Of other textile materials," would encompass slips and petticoats knitted or crocheted from materials not classified as man-made fibers, such as those made from cotton, wool, silk, or certain regenerated cellulosic fibers. This distinction is crucial for accurately determining duty rates and trade statistics.

Within this subcategory, further distinctions are made between "Women's" (6108.11.00.10) and "Girls'" (6108.11.00.20) garments. This differentiation is typically based on size ranges and potentially design elements commonly associated with women's versus children's apparel, allowing for more granular statistical tracking and tariff application.
