6111.90.70.00 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste

This classification covers infants' or children's garments and clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted and made primarily from silk or silk waste, comprising 70 percent or more by weight of these materials. This includes items such as sleepwear, outerwear, and accessories specifically designed for babies and young children. The key determining factor for classification under this code is the predominant presence of silk content in the knitted or crocheted textile.

When classifying garments for infants and children (Chapter 6111), it is crucial to differentiate based on the textile materials. This specific category, 6111.90.70.00, is distinct from siblings that are either of wool or fine animal hair (6111.90.05), of artificial fibers, or other unspecified textile materials (6111.90.90.00). The focus here is exclusively on the silk composition, distinguishing it from garments made of other natural or man-made fibers.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions under 6111.90.70.00. Therefore, classification within this code is final based on the material composition and the nature of the garment as an infant or child's knitted or crocheted article. Practical considerations for classification would involve verifying the silk content through laboratory analysis if documentation is insufficient, and confirming the garment's suitability and design for infants and young children.
