6114.20.00.20 - Bodysuits and bodyshirts (359)

This HTS classification pertains to bodysuits and bodyshirts specifically knitted or crocheted from cotton. These garments are characterized by their design, typically featuring a full body coverage with closures at the crotch, intended for wear as undergarments or as standalone tops. The "bodysuit" designation often implies a more fitted garment, while "bodyshirt" can encompass a broader range of styles that also incorporate a crotch closure for secure fit.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, it's important to note that while other categories at this level may cover knitted or crocheted cotton apparel like jumpers, coveralls, or sunsuits, this node is exclusively for items defined by their bodysuit or bodyshirt construction. Jumpers, for instance, are typically outerwear and may not have the characteristic crotch closure. Coveralls and jumpsuits are generally more substantial garments covering the full body, often including sleeves and legs, unlike the more abbreviated design of a bodysuit or bodyshirt.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 6114.20.00.20 relies heavily on the precise definition of "bodysuit" and "bodyshirt" and confirmation that the garment is indeed knitted or crocheted from cotton. The "359" designation indicates a specific internal reference or statistical suffix, not a classification criterion for the importer.
