6204.31.10.10 - Women's (435)

This HTS category, 6204.31.10.10, specifically classifies women's suit-type jackets and blazers that are primarily constructed from wool or fine animal hair, and importantly, contain 30 percent or more by weight of silk or silk waste. These garments are designed for women and are intended to be part of a suit ensemble or worn as standalone blazers, reflecting formal or semi-formal attire. The classification hinges on both the primary material composition (wool/fine animal hair) and the significant presence of silk content.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 6204.31.10.20, which covers the same types of suit-type jackets and blazers but specifically for girls. The fundamental difference lies in the intended wearer: women versus girls. While the material and construction criteria are likely similar, the end-user demographic dictates the separate classification for accurate trade statistics and tariff application.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories for this specific code. Therefore, classification within 6204.31.10.10 is final based on the presence of women's suit-type jackets and blazers composed of wool or fine animal hair with a substantial silk content (30% or more by weight). Importers and exporters should ensure meticulous verification of material composition percentages to ensure accurate classification.
