6117.90.10.10 - Of sweaters (746) 🖩

This HTS category, 6117.90.10.10, specifically covers knitted or crocheted parts of sweaters. These are components intended for use in the construction of sweaters, such as collars, cuffs, hems, or body panels that are designed to be assembled into a finished sweater. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is its direct relation to sweaters, distinguishing it from parts destined for other types of garments.

It is crucial to differentiate this classification from its siblings. While all fall under "Parts" for knitted or crocheted accessories and garments, 6117.90.10.10 is exclusively for sweater components. Other sibling categories are designated for parts of blouses and shirts (6117.90.10.20), coats and jackets (6117.90.10.30), and trousers, breeches, and shorts (6117.90.10.40), as well as a general "Other" category for parts not specified elsewhere. The material composition, specifically containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste, is a prerequisite for classification under this particular heading, further narrowing its scope.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories for this specific HTS code. Therefore, the classification decision rests on accurately identifying the part as belonging to a sweater and confirming its silk content. Imported items that are unassembled pieces of knitted or crocheted sweaters, meeting the silk weight threshold, will be classified under this code.
