6111.90.05 - Of wool or fine animal hair

This HTS category, 6111.90.05, specifically classifies babies' garments and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted and are made of wool or fine animal hair. This designation applies to items such as infant booties, mittens, caps, and other small apparel, provided their primary textile component is wool or fine animal hair. The "fine animal hair" typically refers to fibers like cashmere, mohair, angora, and alpaca, which possess a softness and fineness distinct from coarser wools.

This classification is differentiated from its siblings, particularly those under "Of other textile materials," by the explicit requirement for wool or fine animal hair as the constituent material. For instance, while other siblings might cover garments made of artificial fibers or silk, this category is exclusively for wool or fine animal hair-based articles. It also stands apart from broader categories that might encompass adult apparel or accessories made from similar materials, by focusing solely on items designed for infants and very young children.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on the specific type of garment. Subcategory 6111.90.05.10 covers knitted or crocheted infant wear like sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, and waistcoats made from wool or fine animal hair. Conversely, subcategory 6111.90.05.30 encompasses all other baby garments and accessories made of these materials that do not fall under the specific examples provided in the preceding subdivision.
