6204.29.40.24 - Subject to wool restraints (442)

This HTS category encompasses women's or girls' skirts and divided skirts that are not knitted or crocheted, and are not specifically covered by the preceding subcategories. The defining characteristic of items within this classification is their "other textile materials" composition, meaning they are not primarily made of wool, cotton, or man-made fibers subject to specific restraints. The classification hinges on the absence of these enumerated material restraints, directing items into this residual category when other textile materials form the principal component.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS code 6204.29.40.22 covers skirts and divided skirts subject to cotton restraints, while 6204.29.40.26 pertains to those subject to man-made fiber restraints. This category, 6204.29.40.24, therefore applies to garments composed of other textile materials, such as silk, linen, or blends thereof, where no specific quota or restraint system is in place for those particular fibers in the context of skirts and divided skirts. The presence of wool restraints, indicated by the parenthetical note (442), is the operative criterion for inclusion here.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification is complete at this level. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the principal textile material of the skirt or divided skirt to ensure it does not fall under a more specific category with material restraints. The absence of such restraints, coupled with the classification as a skirt or divided skirt and composition from "other textile materials," definitively places the article within this classification.
