6114.90.10 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste

This category, HTS Code 6114.90.10, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted garments, other than those for babies, which are primarily constructed from textile materials not falling under the broader categories of wool, fine animal hair, or cotton. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is that the garment must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This emphasis on silk content is crucial for distinguishing these items from other classifications within Chapter 61.

While sibling categories like 6114.90.05 cover garments made from wool or fine animal hair, and 6114.90.90 encompasses all other textile materials not otherwise specified, HTS 6114.90.10 carves out a distinct niche for silk-dominant knitted or crocheted apparel. This precise material composition requirement ensures accurate tariff application for garments where silk is the primary fiber by weight.

Within this silk-focused classification, further subdivisions exist to categorize specific types of garments. These subcategories, such as jumpers, sunsuits, washsuits, coveralls, jumpsuits, and other similar apparel, provide a more granular level of classification. This breakdown is essential for customs authorities to accurately identify and assign duties based on the specific product type within this broad silk-based garment category.
