6117.80.30 - Other

This HTS category, 6117.80.30, encompasses a variety of knitted or crocheted clothing accessories that do not fit into more specific classifications within heading 6117. Crucially, to be classified here, these articles must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This material requirement is the primary determinant for inclusion in this sub-branch of "Other accessories."

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 6117.80.20.00 (Ties, bow ties and cravats), is essential. While both fall under "Other accessories" within knitted or crocheted made-up clothing accessories, this category specifically excludes neckwear like ties, bow ties, and cravats, focusing instead on a broader range of accessory types. The defining factor for 6117.80.30 is its silk content and its non-neckwear accessory nature.

This HTS code further subdivides into two distinct subcategories to provide greater specificity. 6117.80.30.10 covers items such as headbands, ponytail holders, and similar articles designed for hair adornment or management. The residual category, 6117.80.30.90, serves as a "catch-all" for all other knitted or crocheted silk accessories not explicitly defined in the preceding subcategory, ensuring comprehensive coverage within this silk-focused group.
