6117.90.90.15 - Other (845)

This HTS subheading, 6117.90.90.15, classifies specific "other" parts for knitted or crocheted sweaters. It encompasses knitted or crocheted components that are intended to be incorporated into or form part of a sweater, but do not fit into the more specific material categories outlined by its sibling subheadings. This includes parts made from blended fibers where no single fiber type predominates significantly to warrant classification under cotton, wool, or man-made fibers, as well as parts where the exact fiber composition is not readily identifiable or is irrelevant for classification purposes.

Unlike its siblings, which are categorized by the primary fiber content of the sweater parts (6117.90.90.03 for cotton, 6117.90.90.05 for wool or fine animal hair, and 6117.90.90.10 for man-made fibers), this subheading acts as a residual category. It captures parts made from materials not specifically listed in those subheadings or where a blend makes material-based classification impractical. The commonality across all these siblings is that they refer to components of sweaters, such as sleeves, collars, cuffs, or panels, which are knitted or crocheted and not finished clothing accessories themselves.

As a leaf node, 6117.90.90.15 has no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification into this category relies on a process of elimination. If a knitted or crocheted sweater part is not classifiable under the cotton, wool/fine animal hair, or man-made fiber specific subheadings within 6117.90.90, it will default to this "Other" classification. This ensures all such knitted or crocheted sweater parts are accounted for within the tariff schedule.
