6117.80.30.10 - Headbands, ponytail holders and similar articles

This HTS subheading, 6117.80.30.10, specifically covers knitted or crocheted headbands, ponytail holders, and similar articles. These items are designed to be worn on the head or to manage hair. Examples within this classification include elasticated hairbands, decorative scrunchies, and small fabric strips used for securing ponytails, provided they meet the material composition requirements outlined in the broader chapter and heading.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 6117.80.30.90, which encompasses "Other" made-up clothing accessories that do not meet the specific criteria for headbands and ponytail holders. The primary distinguishing factor for this subheading is the explicit inclusion of items primarily intended for hair adornment or management, as opposed to a broader catch-all for other knitted or crocheted accessories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification decision for goods falling under 6117.80.30.10 hinges on whether the article functions as a headband or ponytail holder and meets the material requirements defined by the parent headings, which necessitate containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste.
