Overview
This HTS category, 6117, encompasses a broad range of clothing accessories that are knitted or crocheted, but do not fall into more specific knitted or crocheted accessory categories. It serves as a residual category for such items. Examples include knitted or crocheted gloves, mittens, belts, suspenders, and other similar articles not specifically enumerated elsewhere within Chapter 61. The key distinguishing factor is that these items are complete accessories in themselves, rather than components of garments or other accessories.
Unlike sibling categories that classify live animals or other distinct product groups at the HTS root level, HTS 6117 operates within Section XI, specifically focusing on knitted or crocheted textile articles. Its direct siblings within Chapter 61 would include categories for other knitted or crocheted apparel and accessories that have more defined classifications, such as knitted or crocheted suits, ensembles, coats, or specific types of underwear. The items classified under 6117 are those that, while made from knitted or crocheted fabric and functioning as accessories, do not fit into those more precisely defined headings.
To provide greater clarity within this residual category, HTS 6117 is further subdivided. HTS 6117.10 specifically addresses shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils, and similar items, providing a distinct classification for these often decorative and functional neckwear and headwear accessories. HTS 6117.80 captures "Other accessories," acting as a further catch-all for the remaining knitted or crocheted accessories not covered by 6117.10 or other more specific headings. Finally, HTS 6117.90 is designated for "Parts," allowing for the classification of components of these knitted or crocheted accessories when imported separately.
