6111.30.50.10 - Sunsuits, washsuits and similar apparel (239) 🖩

This HTS category, 6111.30.50.10, specifically covers sunsuits, washsuits, and similar garments for babies, knitted or crocheted from synthetic fibers. These items are characterized by their design for infants and toddlers, often featuring a one-piece construction or matching sets intended for wear during warm weather (sunsuits) or for bathing/play (washsuits). The "similar apparel" designation encompasses other infant garments with comparable construction and purpose, such as rompers or play-suits, provided they are made of synthetic fibers and are knitted or crocheted.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike blanket sleepers (6111.30.50.15), which are designed for warmth and sleep, or sets (6111.30.50.20), which are typically multi-piece outfits, sunsuits and washsuits are generally lighter weight and designed for daytime wear or specific activities. This category's "Other" designation at this level implies it captures garments that do not fit the more specific definitions of the adjacent sibling codes, yet still meet the overarching criteria of being infant apparel made from synthetic fibers and knitted or crocheted.

As a leaf node, 6111.30.50.10 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies on correctly identifying the garment as a sunsuit, washsuit, or a substantially similar article of infant apparel, definitively made from synthetic fibers and produced by knitting or crocheting. When faced with ambiguity, reference to specific chapter and section notes within the HTS is recommended to confirm the scope of "similar apparel" and the precise material composition.
