6117.90.90.75 - Other (847)

This HTS category, 6117.90.90.75, classifies "Other" parts for trousers, breeches, and shorts, knitted or crocheted, when these parts are not specifically covered by the preceding sibling categories. This residual classification is applied to components that do not fall under classifications designated for specific materials like cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers. Examples might include interlinings, specialized reinforcements, or decorative elements that are knitted or crocheted and intended for use in the construction of trousers, breeches, or shorts, but whose material composition or specific function does not align with the more narrowly defined sibling codes.

The crucial differentiator for this "Other" category lies in its exclusion of parts made predominantly of cotton, wool, fine animal hair, or man-made fibers. While the preceding sibling categories (6117.90.90.60, 6117.90.90.65, and 6117.90.90.70) are material-specific, this category serves as a catch-all for knitted or crocheted parts of these garments that do not fit those more specific descriptions. For instance, a knitted waistband made from a blend of materials where no single fiber constitutes the predominant component, or where the blend itself is not explicitly listed, would likely fall here.

As a leaf node, 6117.90.90.75 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this category relies on a careful assessment of the specific knitted or crocheted part's intended use in trousers, breeches, or shorts, and a confirmation that it is not predominantly composed of the materials specified in the immediately preceding sibling categories. Importers and customs brokers must meticulously examine the material composition and ensure all other specific material-based classifications have been ruled out before assigning goods to this residual code.
