Overview
This category, HTS Code 6117.90, encompasses "Parts" specifically for knitted or crocheted articles of apparel and clothing accessories. It is crucial to understand that these are not finished garments or accessories themselves, but rather components designed to be assembled into such items. Examples include knitted or crocheted sleeves, collars, cuffs, waistbands, or panels intended for use in sweaters, shirts, dresses, or other apparel items falling within Chapter 61. The defining characteristic is that these parts are inherently knitted or crocheted and are destined for use in further manufacturing of wearable items or accessories.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is straightforward. HTS Code 6117.10 covers complete knitted or crocheted items such as shawls, scarves, mufflers, mantillas, and veils, which are finished products ready for wear. HTS Code 6117.80 pertains to "Other accessories," also implying finished items like gloves, mittens, or headwear that are not parts. Therefore, 6117.90 is exclusively for the constituent pieces that make up these broader categories, not the final product.
The subcategories within 6117.90 further refine the classification based on material content. HTS Code 6117.90.10 specifically addresses parts that contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, indicating a higher value or specialized material. The residual category, HTS Code 6117.90.90, covers all other knitted or crocheted parts that do not meet the silk content threshold, encompassing a wide array of materials like cotton, wool, synthetic, or artificial fibers. This distinction is vital for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.
