Overview
This HTS category, 6109.90, encompasses knitted or crocheted T-shirts, singlets, tank tops, and similar garments that are not primarily made of cotton. It serves as a catch-all for such apparel when the dominant textile material falls outside of cotton. These are typically casual tops designed for everyday wear, characterized by their knitted or crocheted construction which provides elasticity and comfort.
Distinguishing 6109.90 from its sibling, 6109.10.00 (Of cotton), is crucial. While both cover similar garment types, 6109.10.00 is specifically for those where cotton constitutes the primary component by weight. Therefore, any garment classified under 6109.90 must be predominantly composed of textile materials other than cotton.
The subcategories within 6109.90 further refine the classification based on the specific "other textile materials." These subdivisions allow for more precise identification, differentiating garments made from man-made fibers, specific classifications for wool garments with long sleeves, items predominantly composed of silk, and a residual "other" category for any remaining textile combinations. This granular breakdown is essential for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.
