6203.29.30.30 - Containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste (747) 🖩

This HTS category, specifically HTS 6203.29.30.30, pertains to men's or boys' ensembles that are not knitted or crocheted and are comprised of "other textile materials." The defining characteristic of this particular classification is that the ensembles must contain 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. These ensembles would typically include coordinated garments such as a jacket and trousers or a jacket and shorts, designed to be worn together.

At this level of classification, it is crucial to distinguish this category from other "ensembles of other textile materials." While other subcategories would encompass ensembles made from different textile compositions, this specific heading is exclusively for those predominantly (70% or more by weight) composed of silk or silk waste. The "other textile materials" preamble signifies that it falls outside of more specific material categories like cotton, synthetic fibers, or artificial fibers, yet it is still defined by its substantial silk content.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification hinges entirely on meeting the criteria of being a men's or boys' ensemble, not knitted or crocheted, composed of textile materials other than those specifically enumerated elsewhere, and crucially, containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. Careful consideration of the fabric composition and the nature of the garments as a coordinated set is essential for accurate classification.
