6202.90.59.00 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (735)

This classification, HTS Code 6202.90.59.00, pertains to women's or girls' anoraks, windbreakers, and similar articles, specifically those that are not knitted or crocheted and are made primarily from silk. The defining characteristic for inclusion in this category is that the article must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. This includes garments designed for protection against wind and rain, or padded and sleeveless jackets that fall within the broader scope of "other" articles in heading 6202, but do not fit into more specific subheadings based on material or construction.

This specific subheading is distinguished from its sibling category, 6202.90.69 ("Other"), by its exclusive material composition. While 6202.90.69 would encompass anoraks, windbreakers, and similar items not made predominantly of silk, this subheading is precisely for those articles where silk is the dominant fiber by weight. The "Other" classification serves as a residual category for items not otherwise specified, whereas this subheading carves out a distinct group based on the significant presence of silk.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification decisions at this level hinge on the accurate determination of the silk content and the garment's basic form and function as an anorak, windbreaker, or similar outerwear, ensuring it meets the criteria of being "other" than those covered by heading 6204 and not being knitted or crocheted.
