6117.90.90.10 - Of man-made fibers (646)

This HTS classification, 6117.90.90.10, specifically designates parts of knitted or crocheted garments or clothing accessories that are made from man-made fibers. These parts would include items such as knitted collars, cuffs, waistbands, or pockets intended for use in sweaters. The primary defining characteristic for inclusion in this subcategory is the composition of the material from which these parts are constructed.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by the explicit requirement of man-made fiber content. For instance, 6117.90.90.03 covers similar parts made of cotton, while 6117.90.90.05 pertains to those made of wool or fine animal hair. Therefore, when classifying a knitted or crocheted part of an apparel item or accessory for a sweater, the importer must carefully determine the fiber composition to ensure correct classification under the appropriate subcategory.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions under 6117.90.90.10 are therefore final for parts of sweaters made from man-made fibers, based on the preceding hierarchical classification. Examples of such parts could include elasticated waistbands, ribbed cuffs, or integrated neckbands manufactured from synthetic or artificial fibers like polyester, nylon, or acrylic.
