This HTS category, 6117.10.20.10, specifically classifies knitted or crocheted shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils, and similar items that are made up of textile materials and contain 23 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair. The emphasis here is on the wool or fine animal hair content as the primary defining characteristic, distinguishing these articles based on their material composition.

At this level of detail within the broader classification of "Shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, veils and the like," this subcategory specifically addresses those items where wool or fine animal hair is a significant component. It differentiates itself from its sibling category, 6117.10.20.30, which covers "Other" such accessories not meeting the wool or fine animal hair threshold defined in this category. Therefore, the key differentiator for classification into 6117.10.20.10 is the substantial presence of wool or fine animal hair.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 6117.10.20.10 is final based on the material composition requirement and the general nature of the article as a knitted or crocheted shawl, scarf, muffler, mantilla, veil, or similar item. Importers and exporters must ensure accurate determination of the wool or fine animal hair content by weight to correctly apply this classification.
