6204.19.80.20 - Skirts and divided skirts imported as parts of suits (342)

This HTS classification, 6204.19.80.20, specifically covers skirts and divided skirts that are imported as integral components of suits for women or girls. These items are not classified on their own but are considered part of a larger ensemble, meaning they are intended to be worn together with other pieces that constitute a suit. The classification is within Chapter 62, which pertains to apparel and clothing accessories that are not knitted or crocheted, and falls under the broader category of women's or girls' suits and ensembles.

The distinguishing feature of this subcategory lies in its specific inclusion of skirts and divided skirts when they are part of a suit. It differentiates itself from sibling categories such as 6204.19.80.10 (jackets as parts of suits), 6204.19.80.30 (trousers, breeches, and shorts as parts of suits), and 6204.19.80.40 (waistcoats as parts of suits). While all these categories deal with components of women's or girls' suits made of other textile materials and subject to cotton restraints, this specific code isolates only the skirt portion of such ensembles.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for skirts and divided skirts that meet the criteria of being imported as part of a suit. When classifying, it is crucial to ensure that the imported skirt is indeed intended and presented as part of a suit, rather than as a standalone garment. The "other textile materials" aspect indicates that the suit in question is not primarily composed of cotton, and the "subject to cotton restraints" indicates potential trade limitations that may apply.
