6204.23.00 - Of synthetic fibers

This HTS category, 6204.23.00, specifically classifies ensembles made of synthetic fibers. An ensemble, in this context, refers to a coordinated set of clothing items designed to be worn together, typically a jacket and skirt or trousers, or a dress and matching jacket. The defining characteristic for classification under this code is that the primary textile material comprising the ensemble must be synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, or acrylic.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Ensembles made predominantly from wool or fine animal hair fall under 6204.21.00, while those primarily composed of cotton are classified under 6204.22. Ensembles made from other textile materials, such as silk or linen, would be directed to the 6204.29 subheadings. Therefore, the precise fiber content is the determining factor in selecting this specific classification.

This category is further subdivided based on the presence and proportion of other fibers. The subcategories address whether the ensemble contains 36 percent or more by weight of wool or fine animal hair, or if it falls into the "other" category, which would typically include ensembles with minimal percentages of non-synthetic fibers or those where synthetic fibers are clearly dominant. This differentiation ensures accurate classification even in mixed-fiber compositions.
