6117.90.90.85 - Of wool or fine animal hair (459) 🖩

This HTS category, 6117.90.90.85, specifically covers parts of knitted or crocheted articles of apparel and clothing accessories that are made from wool or fine animal hair. These parts are intended for use in the construction or repair of garments or accessories that fall under Chapter 61 of the HTS, such as sweaters, gloves, scarves, or hats. The key defining characteristic is the material composition; the components must be predominantly of wool or fine animal hair to be classified here.

This classification is distinct from its siblings, 6117.90.90.80 and 6117.90.90.90, which cover similar knitted or crocheted parts but are made of cotton and man-made fibers, respectively. Therefore, when classifying a part under 6117.90, the predominant fiber content is the primary determinant. Similarly, 6117.90.90.95 encompasses parts made from other materials not specifically listed in the preceding subcategories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification to this level is conclusive based on the material of the knitted or crocheted part and its intended use as a component for apparel or clothing accessories. Practical classification hinges on verifying the presence of wool or fine animal hair as the primary constituent of the part in question.
