6204.29.40.26 - Subject to man-made fiber restraints (642)

This HTS classification, 6204.29.40.26, specifically covers skirts and divided skirts that are not knitted or crocheted, made from textile materials other than cotton or wool. The designation "Subject to man-made fiber restraints (642)" indicates that the importation of these garments is subject to specific quantitative limits or quotas imposed under trade agreements. These garments are designed as outer clothing for women and girls, falling under the broader category of ensembles and suit-type garments.

The distinction from its sibling categories is crucial for correct classification. HTS code 6204.29.40.22 pertains to skirts and divided skirts made from cotton and subject to cotton restraints, while 6204.29.40.24 applies to those made from wool and subject to wool restraints. Therefore, this category is exclusively for items composed of man-made fibers, such as polyester, nylon, rayon, or acrylic, when these are the predominant fiber content and are subject to the specified man-made fiber trade restrictions.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under this specific HTS code. Classification at this level is determined by the material composition (man-made fibers) and the presence of applicable restraints, as opposed to the material of the primary sibling categories. Examples of garments that would fall under this classification include skirts and divided skirts made entirely or predominantly of polyester, nylon, or other man-made fibers, provided they are part of an ensemble or suit-type garment and are subject to the indicated trade restraints.
