6116.99.75.00 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste

This HTS category, 6116.99.75.00, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that are primarily composed of silk or silk waste. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this category is that the article must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This ensures that items predominantly made from silk are appropriately identified for customs purposes.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, "Of artificial fibers" (implied to be a sibling at this level of detail), by the specific textile material. While other "Of other textile materials" might exist, this particular subcategory is exclusively for those items where silk is the dominant component by weight. The sibling category "6116.99.95 Other" would encompass knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, and mitts that fall under "Other" but do not meet the specific silk content threshold of this 6116.99.75.00 classification.

As this node is a leaf node in the provided structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions under this heading will rely on the clear criteria of the silk content. Examples of items that would fall here include fine silk evening gloves, thermal gloves made primarily from silk blends meeting the 70% threshold, or hand-knitted mittens constructed predominantly from silk yarn.
