6204.19 - Of other textile materials:

Category 6204.19 encompasses women's or girls' suits constructed from textile materials other than wool, fine animal hair, cotton, synthetic fibers, or artificial fibers. This broad category serves as a catch-all for suit ensembles that do not fall under the more specific material-based classifications. It is crucial for importers and exporters to accurately identify the primary textile composition of the suit to ensure correct classification within this section.

This category is distinct from its siblings, 6204.11 (of wool or fine animal hair), 6204.12 (of cotton), and 6204.13 (of synthetic fibers), by virtue of its residual nature. If a suit is primarily made of synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, it would be classified under 6204.13. Similarly, suits predominantly composed of cotton would fall under 6204.12. Category 6204.19 is reserved for suits where the primary textile material does not fit those more specific designations.

Within 6204.19, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on specific textile content. The subcategory 6204.19.40.00 specifically addresses suits containing 70 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. All other suits falling under the general description of "of other textile materials" that do not meet the silk threshold are grouped under the residual subcategory 6204.19.80, designated as "Other." This hierarchical structure allows for precise tariff application based on the nuanced material composition of these garments.
