6204.29.20.15 - Skirts and divided skirts.(642)

This HTS category, 6204.29.20.15, specifically classifies skirts and divided skirts that are not knitted or crocheted and are made of artificial fibers, belonging to the broader group of women's or girls' ensembles. These garments are designed to be worn on the lower half of the body and are distinct from trousers, shorts, or dresses within the same heading. The "divided skirts" aspect refers to garments that provide the appearance of a skirt but are constructed with individual leg coverings, similar to trousers, yet still maintaining a skirt-like silhouette.

Within the context of ensembles made of other textile materials and specifically of artificial fibers, this classification differentiates itself from its siblings by its garment type. While 6204.29.20.10 covers jackets and blazers, and 6204.29.20.20 and 6204.29.20.25 classify trousers, breeches, and shorts respectively, this code is exclusively for skirts and divided skirts. Furthermore, it is distinct from the "blouses and shirts" and "other" categories within this subgroup, which would cover different types of apparel.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification to this specific code is therefore determined by the presence of the garment type (skirt or divided skirt) and the material composition (artificial fibers), within the broader context of women's or girls' apparel not knitted or crocheted. Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods precisely match the description of a skirt or divided skirt to correctly apply this classification.
