6114.90.10.40 - Sunsuits, washsuits and similar apparel (759) 🖩

This HTS classification, 6114.90.10.40, specifically designates sunsuits, washsuits, and similar knitted or crocheted apparel that are composed of 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This category encompasses garments designed for infants or young children, often featuring a one-piece construction or a matching top and bottom set. The defining characteristic is the primary material content of silk, which dictates its placement within the broader "other textile materials" group under knitted or crocheted apparel.

While sibling categories at this level also fall under "Of other textile materials" and "Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste," they address different types of apparel. For instance, 6114.90.10.30 covers jumpers, which are typically sleeveless dresses worn over other clothing, and 6114.90.10.50 classifies coveralls and jumpsuits, which are generally more utilitarian or outerwear garments. This specific code is for items like sunsuits and washsuits, implying a lighter weight, often playful, and more casual attire suitable for warm weather or bathing.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. The classification of an item within this category relies heavily on its physical characteristics, intended use, and the definitive silk content exceeding 70% by weight. Items that meet these material requirements and are designed as coordinated sets for young children, such as sunsuits or washsuits, will be classified here.
